/PER-las/
FIL: Isang matigas at makintab na bagay na nabubuo sa loob ng talaba at iba pang molusko, na lubos na pinahahalagahan bilang hiyas.
EN: pearl
The ultimate 'galing sa dagat' treasure. Before we had 'Pearl' milk tea, we had the OG perlas that made the Philippines the 'Pearl of the Orient Seas.' It's what your lola receives on her 50th wedding anniversary, and what you hope to find when you're shucking oysters (spoiler: you'll probably just find oyster).
From Spanish 'perla' (pearl).
Also used metaphorically to mean something precious or a gem.
