FIL: Isang tapat ngunit kadalasang sunud-sunurang tagasunod o alalay ng isang makapangyarihang tao, na karaniwang may negatibong konotasyon.
EN: henchman
The squad of a kontrabida. The 'yes men' or 'goons' of a corrupt politician or an evil CEO in a teleserye. They're the ones who do the dirty work, the 'utusan', the 'bata'. If the main villain is the final boss, the 'ulipores' are the minions you have to defeat first.
From Spanish 'olvidados' (the forgotten ones), but the meaning has shifted significantly in Filipino.
Almost always used with a negative connotation, implying blind or subservient following. Often used interchangeably with 'alipores'.
