hanay


Explanation:
Hi Cardel:

The word "network" takes various forms in the English language, and so it does too in Tagalog.

However, if you would like to refer to a group of interconnected organizations, you'll be using the word "hanay", meaning "roster" or "inter-related group"

e.g. "A NETWORK of non-government organizations collaborated to start the forest preservation campaign in Rizal province."

"May isang HANAY ng mga organisasyong di-kaalyado ng gobyerno ang nagtulong-tulong upang simulan ang kampanya upang mapangalagaan ang likas-gubat sa probinsya ng Rizal."

Hope this helps!

Source word is NOUN but selected answer is an ADJECTIVE


Explanation:
Hi all--I beg to disagree with the selected answer, not because I provided a different answer...(and at the risk of sounding like "sour-graping")...

The source word is a NOUN ("network"), but the selected answer is an ADJECTIVE ("magka-akibat," meaning "teamed-up" or "collaborative").

Word Equivalence requires consistency ot only in context but in word-form as well.

If source work was "networked" (an adjective), then "magka-akibat" would have been perfect.

I agree, there is no direct Tagalog equivalent for "network"--but when used to pertain to a conjoined social group (as presented in this KudoZ question), the word "hanay" is often used--even in TV news broadcasts and Tagalog-language newspapers.

Just my two cents, folks, for the sake of other potential users of this word)... :-)

Any counter-comments, please feel free to post here or email to me. Thanks!
