This is your ultimate #ThrowbackThursday squad. Not just your lolo and lola, but their lolo and lola, and so on, all the way back to the folks who probably fought Lapu-Lapu. When you talk about *kanunu-nunuan*, you're going deep into your family tree, connecting to your roots and the ancient traditions they passed down.
From the root word *nuno* (ancestor, grandparent) with the *ka- -an* affix, indicating a collective group or the very essence of ancestry.
