A term used by vehement Marcos supporters to refer to ultra-supporters of the Philippine political party known as the Liberal Party. It originates from the party's flagship colour being yellow, which in Filipino is "dilaw". Often it will be seen used as an accusatory label when someone speaks negatively of the Marcoses.
People and groups associated with the term include the Aquino family (of whom two became president and one died by an assassination ordered by Ferdinand Marcos Sr.), human rights lawyers, ABS-CBN, and anyone critical of the Marcos family for any reason (no, this is not an overstatement).

An intentionally mispelt version of the political term 'dilawan'. Used to mock vehement Marcos supporters online, particularly supporters who throw the label on anything even when it doesn't make sense.
