EN: Grandfather (Chinese-Filipino)
This is what you call your lolo if your family owns a hardware store or a restaurant that has been around for generations. 'Ingkong' is the patriarch, the OG, the one who gives out the thickest ang pao on Chinese New Year. He's got stories for days and probably knows the secret to making the best siopao in town.
From Hokkien 阿公 (a-kong), meaning 'grandfather'.
A term of respect and endearment specific to Chinese-Filipino culture. Often paired with 'Amah' (grandmother).
🇵🇭 Mahigpit ang bilin ni Ingkong na mag-aral kami nang mabuti.
🇺🇸 Grandfather's strict instruction was for us to study well.
