EN: Schoolmate
Anyone who went to the same school as you, from the person you shared a table with in the canteen to that guy from a different batch you only know by face. Reconnecting with a schoolmate years later often starts with, "Uy, taga-[School Name] ka rin pala! Kilala mo si...?"
From English 'schoolmate'.
The Tagalog 'kaeskuwela' is also common.
