Ang Apat Na Pangunahing Direksyon are the four cardinal directions or cardinal points. These are the equivalent for North, South, East and West, in Filipino or Tagalog . The Ordinal Directions, on the other hand, are called Pangalawang Direksyon in Tagalog. These are being used in maps and compasses to help people know the location of a place or how to find a place.

SILANGAN (East, E)
