FIL: Isang maliit na piraso ng papel na naglalaman ng impormasyon, paunawa, o ginagamit sa pagboto.
EN: slip of paper; ballot; small poster
Think of it as the ancestor of the modern-day 'flyer' or 'brochure'. It's that small piece of paper handed out during election season with a candidate's face on it, or a slip for a raffle draw at the company Christmas party. A more formal, slightly vintage-sounding word than just 'papel'.
From Spanish 'papeleta' (slip of paper).
ROOT MEANING: paper; role
Often associated with voting (ballots) or official notices on small paper. It implies a small paper with a specific function or information.
