I don't know where the guy who defined the word got that definition. everyone in the philippines know that a dilawan is a supporter of the previous administration. must be misleading people. the creator must be ignorant or a dilawan himself. for etymology the word is from dilaw (yellow} the color of the previous administration's party.— This unsigned comment was added by 180.190.185.125 (talk).
- I'm not confident enough in Tagalog to fix that entry, but I added an English one. --Lvovmauro (talk) 09:42, 3 October 2018 (UTC)
- Bad definition. Fixed. —Stephen (Talk) 02:25, 4 October 2018 (UTC)
- I created the entry and I got the definition by analyzing its use in quotes from Google Books. But for the IP who placed the entry here, it is also bad to attack someone who created it personally. Calling me "ignorant" is considered a personal attack, but if you are correct that "dilawan" is a member of the opposition, I agree.--TagaSanPedroAko (talk) 20:27, 7 October 2018 (UTC)
- Does it actually mean "anyone of the opposition"? Or do supporters of Duterte call their opponents "dilawan" because they're accusing them of being liberals/supporting Aquino/etc? Like, Muslims get accused of being terrorists a lot, that doesn't mean the word "terrorist" now has "Muslim" as a definition. --Lvovmauro (talk) 02:29, 8 October 2018 (UTC)
confirmed dilawan. did you see him change the definition. dilawans have reached wiktionary.— This unsigned comment was added by 180.190.185.125 (talk).
- @180.190.185.125 Please stop that politically polarized statements. This is not a way to channel politicized statements, and remember to be civil (please read your talk page first). I changed it out of agreement with Lvovmauro. I just responded to that comment, and calling me "dilawan" is an outright personal attack. --TagaSanPedroAko (talk) 18:29, 13 October 2018 (UTC)
- RFV-closed; the RFV template no longer exists and seemingly this was an invalid request all along, anyway. — surjection ⟨??⟩ 00:00, 19 April 2020 (UTC)
