Another one is "maámong kordero" (from Sp. "amo" & "cordero"). Combined together, it conveys the description of a meek, tame, harmless human with Tagalog adjective prefix and suffix added. The compound word "batya't palo–palo", a phrase in the laundry business where many Spanish words proliferate. The words were taken from the Spanish "batea" for "washing tub" and "palo" for "stick" or "beater", something a typical Filipino might think had no Spanish provenance at all. Others are "umpisa" ("empieza"), "pulubi" ("pobre"), "pader" ("pared").
