EN: Don; a title of respect for a man
Think of a haciendero from a historical drama, like Don Crisostomo Ibarra. It’s the male equivalent of "Donya." Today, it's mostly used for rich, powerful, and sometimes shady, old-school bosses. Parang 'The Godfather' but make it Filipino.
From Spanish 'don'.
An honorific used before a man's first name, e.g., Don Juan. It implies wealth and social standing, and is now somewhat archaic or used for specific character types.
