FIL: Ang tumanggap ng sakramento ng Kumpil sa Simbahang Katoliko.
EN: to be confirmed (in the Catholic sacrament)
This is the Catholic level-up after baptism. You get a sponsor (ninong/ninang), the bishop taps you on the cheek, and you officially become a "soldier of Christ." It's a big deal for Catholic families, often followed by a handaan (feast). It’s that one time you have to memorize stuff about the Holy Spirit and get a new middle name for a day.
From Spanish 'confirmar' (to confirm), via 'kumpil' (confirmation).
Exclusively used in the context of the Catholic sacrament of Confirmation.
