The 40-day season before Holy Week when your Catholic friends suddenly give up soft drinks, social media, or eating meat on Fridays. It's a time for reflection and sacrifice, culminating in a long weekend beach trip for many Filipinos. Also known as the season of 'bawal mag-ingay' and marathon viewings of religious films on TV.
From Spanish 'Cuaresma' (Lent), from 'cuarenta' (forty).
