FIL: Ang pinuno o tagapamahala ng isang paaralan; punong-guro.
EN: principal (of a school)
The final boss of the school. The person you only see when you're in deep trouble (in the `prinsipal's` office) or when you're getting an award. They have the power to suspend classes, which makes them a hero, or give a really long speech during the flag ceremony, which is... less heroic.
Mula sa Espanyol na 'principal'.
This is the common Filipinized spelling of the English 'principal'. 'Punong-guro' is the native Tagalog equivalent.
🇵🇭 Pinatawag ako ng prinsipal dahil sa aking mga grado.
