معنی
A derogatory term for someone very poor.
زمینه فرهنگی
The term is deeply tied to the 'Donya Victorina' syndrome, where people who have a little bit of wealth look down on those who have none. The 'Hampaslupa' is a common character archetype in 1950s-1980s Filipino cinema, often played by actors like Nora Aunor in her early roles. The obsession with land ownership as a marker of 'tao' (being a person) stems from the Encomienda system. Today, the term is often used ironically by the middle class to describe their state after paying bills.
High Offense Potential
Never use this word to describe someone's actual financial situation in person. It is a severe insult.
Teleserye Context
If you hear this on TV, look for the 'Kontrabida' (villain). It's their signature word.
