Tagalog
editEtymology
editEither from Spanish perra (“5 and 10 centimo peseta coins”, literally “bitch / female dog”),[1] or Spanish pela (“1 peseta coins”, literally “a hit or beating”), due to the circulation of perra gorda (“10 centimo peseta coin”), perra chica (“5 centimo peseta coin”), and pela (“1 peseta coin”), coins which depicted a Spanish heraldic lion rampant regardant during the Spanish colonial period in the Philippines.
Potet (2016) also remarks that it seems to be a cross between Malay perak and Spanish perra, wherein an interference could've occurred between the colloquial senses of Spanish perra (“cash; dough (money)”, literally “bitch (dog)”) and Malay perak (“coin”, literally “silver”). See also pilak.
