EN: of noble blood; blue-blooded
Basically, a "royal." Someone with blue blood, a socialite, or from an old-money "haciendero" family. In modern times, it's that classmate who arrives in a chauffeured car and has never experienced commuting via MRT during rush hour.
From "dugo" (blood) and "marangal" (noble). Literally "noble blood".
An idiomatic expression. The hyphen is important. 'Dugong-bughaw' is a more common synonym.
