FIL: Isang samahan o grupo ng mga tao na may iisang layunin, karaniwan ay para sa ilegal na gawain o krimen.
EN: syndicate
The bad guys in every '90s Pinoy action movie. When you hear 'sindikato', you immediately think of a secret group of villains in a dark, smoky room, probably led by a guy in a white suit, planning some evil scheme. In real life, it's just a less glamorous but equally scary criminal group.
From Spanish 'sindicato' (syndicate, trade union), which in Philippine usage has predominantly taken on the negative connotation of a criminal syndicate.
Almost exclusively used to refer to criminal organizations in modern Filipino.
