EN: term of address for a father, elderly man, or priest
A respectful, slightly old-fashioned term for 'father' or any respected old man, like 'Lolo'. It has that "probinsya" vibe. In some places, it's also how you'd address a priest, kind of like "Father." It's the male equivalent of "Inang."
Isang boketibo o baryasyon ng salitang 'ama'.
