EN: cement
The gray powder that built the Philippines, one hardware store at a time. It's what your dad mixes for that DIY project he started 5 years ago. It's the stuff that gets on your new shoes when you walk past a construction site. The foundation of every SM mall and condo unit.
From Spanish 'cemento' (cement).
Often used interchangeably with 'kongkreto' (concrete) in casual conversation, though technically cement is an ingredient of concrete.
