I believe that we use those terms only to explain to English speakers how our sentences are formed in relation to the active and passive voices of English. Hence, we do not have a local term for “actor-focused” or “object-focused” verbs because we don’t use those concepts to learn our language. We learn to construct Tagalog/Filipino sentences simply based on the verb affixes. So we would see a sentence using a verb with the “in” suffix as just another way of stating the same sentence using an “um” verb or a “mag” verb.

I'm not sure if there are standardized translations for them in Tagalog but "object focus verbs" can be "mga pandiwang nagpopokus sa layunin" and "actor focus verbs," "mga pandiwang nagpopokus sa gumagawa."

Ang pokus ng salitang 'kumain' ay nasa tagaganap o aktor dahil sinasagot nito ang katanungang 'sino'.
Habang ang salitang 'basahin' ay ginagamitan ng pokus sa direksyon dahil sinasagot nito ang tanong na 'tungo saan' o 'kanino'.
