FIL: Ang bilang na lima (5); sa sistema ng pagmamarka ng ilang unibersidad tulad ng UP, ito ang kumakatawan sa bagsak na grado.
EN: five; a failing grade
A word with a dual personality. On the streets, **singko** is the five-peso coin for your pamasahe. In the University of the Philippines, **singko** is the stuff of nightmares—the 5.0 grade that means you've failed the subject and have to face the 'walk of shame' to your professor's office. It's the ultimate "game over" in acads.
Mula sa Espanyol na 'cinco'.
