FIL: Isang uri ng damit na walang manggas, karaniwang isinusuot sa mainit na panahon o bilang panloob na damit.
EN: tank top, sleeveless shirt
The official uniform of the Pinoy *tambay* and the go-to outfit for a quick trip to the sari-sari store. Also the required attire for playing basketball in the *kanto* or doing household chores on a sweltering Saturday. It's the Philippines' answer to summer fashion, prioritizing ventilation above all else.
Likely from a genericized brand name or a colloquial evolution from Spanish clothing terms.
Often worn by men, but the term can apply to women's tank tops as well.
