FIL: Isang representasyon o larawan ng isang bagay, tao, o konsepto, karaniwan sa anyong estatwa, pinta, o litrato, lalo na kung may kinalaman sa relihiyon.
EN: image; statue (usually religious)
It's the physical representation of your favorite saint. You see them a lot during Fiestas and Holy Week processions. It's the Santo Niño in the living room, the Black Nazarene in Quiapo, or that small statue you pray to when you're about to take a major exam. It's more than just a 'picture'; it has a heavier, often sacred, vibe.
From Spanish 'imagen'.
While it can mean 'image' in general, it is most commonly used for religious statues or icons.
