FIL: Ang babaeng testigo sa isang binyag, kumpil, o kasal na may tungkuling gabayan sa pananampalataya ang inaanak; ninang.
EN: godmother
The more formal, Spanish-sounding version of 'Ninang'. She's the one who's supposed to be your spiritual guide but is more popularly known as the source of aguinaldo (cash gifts) during Christmas. She's a VIP at your baptism, confirmation, and wedding.
From Spanish `madrina` (godmother).
`Ninang` is far more common in everyday conversation. `Madrina` is used in more formal contexts or documents.
