Usage Note
Kadre is borrowed from Spanish 'cuadro' (frame, square, cadre) via the military and political register. In modern Tagalog it refers to a core group of trained or ideologically committed members of an organization, particularly in political or activist contexts. It is more formal and specialized than common everyday vocabulary.
