EN: male co-sponsor; close male friend (colloquial)
The official term for your kid's godfather, but more often used for your go-to drinking buddy or barkada. 'Pare' is the short version. Your kumpare is the guy you call for a 'tagay,' to help you move a couch, or to complain about your boss. It's a bond forged by San Miguel beer and shared secrets.
From Spanish 'compadre', evolved in Filipino.
The more common, colloquial form of 'kumpadre'. The shortened version 'pare' is extremely common.
