Your friendly neighborhood 'kapit sa patalim' financial institution. This is where your lola's alahas goes for a 'vacation' when tuition fee is due or when you need cash for your 13th-month-pay-is-still-in-the-future emergencies. It's the place that knows the real value of your PS5.
From Spanish 'agencia de empeños' (agency of pawns/pledges).
More commonly referred to as 'sanglaan' or by popular brand names like 'Cebuana' or 'Palawan Pawnshop'.
