EN: quill, fountain pen, pen
The OG ballpen. This is what Jose Rizal used to write his novels and stir up a revolution. Today, it's the fancy pen your boss uses to sign important documents, or the one you buy to feel 'artsy' but end up just using a regular Pilot G-Tec anyway. It's a symbol of the writer, the intellectual, the 'manunulat'.
From Spanish 'pluma' (feather, pen).
While it can mean any pen, it has a more literary, formal, and slightly archaic feel compared to the common 'bolpen'.
