lipon ng mga boto Explanation: Good day. In this context, the source word "interest" is used to denote collectivity in number, rather than "concern", "percentage profit on loaned money", etc. It's similar in this respect to "stake" or "holdings", but it is more concerned with the overall conglomeration of individual units (in this case, votes). As such, I would translate the word interest into Tagalog as "lipon", meaning "collection", "aggregation", "cumulation", etc. Similarly, "lipon" is used in Tagalog whenever the exact total number of a group or collection is not immediately known and/or relatively large and/or is approximated. Thus, I would translate the key parts of your passage as such: English: "...the presence in person or by proxy of at least fifteen percent (15%) of the voting interests, i.e., the presence of owners holding at least fifteen percent (15%) of the total vote, not fifteen percent (15%) of the members..." Tagalog: "....ang pagdalo nang personal o sa pamamagitan ng awtorisadong kahalili o proxy ng hindi bababa sa labinglimang bahagdan (15%) ng mga lipon ng boto, kung sa gayon, ay ang pagdalo ng mga may-ari ng hindi bababa sa labinglimang bahagdan (15%) ng kabuuang bilang ng mga boto, hindi ang labinglimang bahagdan (15%) ng mga kasapi..." Hope this helps. -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 2002-08-10 11:21:59 (GMT) -------------------------------------------------- Sorry I forgot to add: lipon ng mga boto = voting interests wherein: lipon = interests ng = of mga boto = votes |
