EN: to make a vow; to perform a religious devotion
This is your sacred promise, your holy 'pamatay' na deal with the heavens. It's walking on your knees to the altar, not eating meat during Lent, or joining the Black Nazarene procession every year. It's a spiritual contract you fulfill, often in exchange for a favor asked or granted. It's leveling up from a simple promise to a full-blown spiritual commitment.
From mag- + panata (vow).
