FIL: Isang panahon ng malawakang kakapusan sa pagkain sa isang rehiyon na nagdudulot ng matinding pagkagutom at sakit.
EN: famine; season of hunger
This is what happens when your entire region has been on a "petsa de peligro" diet for way too long. It's not just being hungry; it's a large-scale crisis, a nationwide "walang ulam" situation. In modern slang, you might say "taggutom na, besh" when your wallet is empty and all you have are instant noodles.
From "tag-" (season/period prefix) + "gutom" (hunger).
ROOT MEANING: hungry
A serious term for a widespread food crisis. Can be used hyperbolically in casual speech to mean extreme poverty or lack of food.
