FIL: Isang pormal na anunsyo sa pahayagan o ibang midyum na nagbabalita ng kamatayan ng isang tao, kalakip ang mga detalye tungkol sa burol at libing.
EN: obituary; death announcement
This is the `patalastas` nobody wants to be in, but everyone will eventually have. It's the section in the newspaper, usually with a small black and white photo, that announces someone has passed away. It gives the details: where to send your condolences (and abuloy), and when the final goodbye is. It's the formal "RIP" post before social media existed.
Compound of `patalastas` (announcement) + `sa` (of) + `pagkamatay` (death).
ROOT MEANING: known, understood, aware
Commonly found in the classified ads section of newspapers. In modern times, this has largely been replaced by social media posts.
