This word is from the Spanish vacío (meaning: “empty”).
basyo ng bala
spent bullet
mga basyo ng bala
bullet shell casings
Now infrequently used as an adjective:
basyong lata
empty can
mga basyong bote
empty bottles
It’s more common to translate ’empty’ as walang laman (having no contents). This is one of those rare instances in contemporary Filipino language where the native Tagalog term is longer yet more widely used than the Spanish- or English-derived word.
