معنی
Referring to the father or male head.
زمینه فرهنگی
The concept is tied to the 'Bahay Kubo' architecture where the wooden posts are the most durable parts. While still used, many now acknowledge 'Single Mothers' as both the 'haligi' and 'ilaw.' When the father works abroad, he is still called the 'haligi,' even if he is physically absent. The term reinforces the 'Padre de Pamilya' role common in Spanish-influenced Filipino history.
Use with 'Po'
When talking about the 'haligi ng tahanan' to an elder, always add 'po' to maintain the level of respect the phrase implies.
Gender Specific
Remember this is almost exclusively for males. Using it for a female is a common learner error.
