EN: flag
The ultimate symbol of national pride, especially during a Manny Pacquiao fight or a beauty pageant. This is the star of every school's Monday morning flag ceremony. Don't you dare wear it as a costume or let it touch the ground, or you'll get a lecture on patriotism. The most famous one, of course, is the Philippine watawat.
From Proto-Malayo-Polynesian *bata(bata) meaning banner or flag.
The primary word for 'flag'. 'Bandila' is a synonym, often used interchangeably, though 'watawat' can sometimes feel more formal or patriotic.
