Bakakeng.

Bakakeng is a barangay unit in Baguio City.  The barangay houses a campus of Saint Louis University where the School Of Accountancy and Business Management and the School of Computing and Information Sciences are administered.  The barangay is reached through a road forking from the Marcos Highway (near/below the Sta Catalina Convent) or from Kenon Road (deviation road somewhere in Camp 7) 
I want to develop a lexicon/dictionary that may be of help to Filipino OFW's.  The lexicon should show a list of terms used by potential employers in different countries when dealing with Filipino OFW's. 

I hope I will have time to do it soon.
I heard that the word Torch is used to mean flashlight in a certain country? 
It actually makes sense.
