EN: singer
Everyone in the Philippines is a 'mang-aawit'... in the karaoke bar. But professionally, this is your Regine Velasquez, your Sarah Geronimo. It's the person who makes a living by hitting high notes and making people feel 'hugot' through a song. The 'mang-aawit' is a national treasure, from the 'birit' queen to the indie folk artist.
From the root 'awit' (song) with the prefix 'mang-' which denotes a doer, a professional, or someone who habitually does the action.
ROOT MEANING: song
The formal term for a singer. 'Singer' is also used colloquially.
