FIL: Isang malawak na lupain o taniman na kung saan ang pangunahing pananim ay tubo (sugarcane).
EN: sugarcane plantation
Before condos, there were these. This is the OG source of your milk tea's sugar. Think vast fields of tall, green stalks swaying in the wind, usually found in provinces like Negros or Batangas. It's the scenery you see on long bus rides to the province.
From 'sakat' (a type of grass or forage) + suffix '-an', denoting a place filled with it. It has become specialized to mean sugarcane fields.
Synonymous with 'tubuhan'. 'Sakatihan' is less common in modern conversation than 'tubuhan' and may sound more literary or historical.
