Two new words are now entries in a forthcoming Ilokano dictionary authored by Dr. Aurelio Solver Agcaoili of the University of Hawaii at Manoa.
These are: napoles, a take-off from the name of the most notorious thief in the history of Philippine corruption, Janet Napoles ; and jinggoyismo, from Jinggoy Estrada, one of the six senators involved in the P10-B scam in collusion with Philippine mayors, lawmakers and other cohorts.
napoles (1) 1. grand theft 2. grand larceny of people's money 3. grand scale thievery of development funds from the government in cahoots with government officials, but masterminded by a businessperson not employed by the government
jinggoyismo (1) maysa a kita ti nakarabrabaw a panangikalintegan iti di maikanatad nga aramid partikular iti pannakikunsaba iti birkog iti fundo ti gobierno a naisangrat iti panagdur-as dagiti awanan akses kadagiti rekursos ti gobierno.
