. . . tanod (brgy peace & order) sa bisaya is murag PAGOB kun di ako nagka mali
. . . wa jud ka magkamali (Tagalog ni), kay "pagob" jud tuod ang precursor sa mga "tanod" nga tigpatrolya sa barangay especially at night. On the other hand, "tanod" is a common term used to refer to watching over a sick person in the hospital. "Kinsay nagtanod sa masakiton kagabii?"
It is a correct observation that because of a national mandate the word "tanod" has remained in use to refer to the nightwatch team patrolling the barangay at night. This is the same case as that of "barangay" which has replaced "barrio/baryo" after we started using the word in 1975 with "Kabataang Barangay".
