Roto or rota (literally "broken") is a Chilean term, considered derogatory, which refers to a person of poverty and vulgar habits of urban origin. In Chile tributes were paid to the victors of Yungay and in a gesture of recognition, 20 January was instituted as the Da del Roto Chileno (Day of the Chilean Roto). In this context, the webpage of the Chilean Army states: The patriotism, bravery and heroism was embodied in the Chilean roto, who represents the ordinary man that left all to fight for its "country".
