FIL: Ang bisa o epekto ng isang bagay, tulad ng gamot, lason, o armas, na tumatagos o gumagana sa pinatutungkulan nito.
EN: effect; efficacy; penetration
That "It's working!" feeling. When the Biogesic finally kicks in and your headache disappears. Or when your 'sermon' to your younger sibling finally makes them wash the dishes. "Walang talab sa kanya ang pangaral ko, matigas talaga ang ulo." It can also mean when a blade or bullet penetrates something.
Often used with 'walang' (no) to mean 'ineffective' ('walang talab'). Can refer to the effect of medicine, advice, weapons, or even magic.
