This is the more formal, 'complete name' version of 'gata'. It's what you say when you want to be specific, like telling your tita you need "milk of the coconut," not just any milk. It's the same delicious, artery-clogging goodness, just said with more syllables.
'gata' (Austronesian) + 'ng' (linker) + 'niyog' (Austronesian).
