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).
Person A: Diba nga madaming namatay noong
Martial Law pa tayo? Ang daming na-rape, na-torture, nawala-
Person B: Ayan ang sinasabi ng mga dilawan,
brainwashed ka ba? NPA ka no??
