What is another word for bata?
Pronunciation: [bˈɑːtə] (IPA) 
Bata is a widely used word in the Philippines to refer to a child, particularly a young boy. However, there are other synonyms that can be used as an alternative. For example, "anak" means child, while "sanggol" refers to an infant or newborn. "Kabataan" is often used to refer to a group of young people, while "tadpole" or "polliwog" could be used for children who enjoy playing in water, or just for a bit of humour. Additionally, "pag-asa" could also be used to refer to young kids since it means hope or the future. With such a rich language, there are plenty of ways to refer to children beyond the traditional "bata".
