FIL: Isang pormal at magalang na paraan ng pagsasabi na ang isang tao ay namatay o sumakabilang-buhay.
EN: passed away, died
The formal, respectful, and less harsh way to say someone died. It’s the word you use in official obituaries and news reports. Instead of the blunt 'namatay,' you say `pumanaw` to soften the blow and show respect for the deceased. It’s the verbal equivalent of putting on a barong to a funeral.
From root 'panaw' (departure, disappearance).
A euphemism for 'namatay' (died). Used in formal and respectful contexts.
