Which term means 'Secretary, often in a governmental context'

• A. Kalihim
• B. Ingat-yaman
• C. Metro
• D. Taingang-kawali

Answer: (A)

Kalihim is the Filipino term used for a government secretary, the head of a department in the cabinet performance. This title mirrors how ministers or secretaries are referred to in other countries, showing the role of leading a specific national department such as education, health, or finance. The other options don’t fit because they refer to different ideas: ingat-yaman means treasurer or someone in charge of keeping finances, metro is not a government office term, and taingang-kawali is a playful or idiomatic expression meaning someone who won’t listen or is hard of hearing.
