FIL: Isang maliit na instrumentong humuhuni kapag hinihipan, ginagamit upang lumikha ng matining na tunog para kumuha ng atensyon o magbigay ng hudyat.
EN: whistle
The ultimate tool of the barangay tanod, traffic enforcer, and that PE teacher who made you run 10 laps. A short, sharp "prrrrt!" from a pito can stop traffic, start a basketball game, or signal that it's time for the next BPO agent's break. It's the sound of authority in its most basic, annoying form.
From Spanish 'pito' (whistle).
Distinct from 'sumipol' which is whistling with the lips. Note the stress on the first syllable, /PI-to/, to distinguish from the number 'seven'.
