EN: indulgent, doting
Describes the lola who will fight your parents for scolding you. She's the one who gives you extra baon, lets you eat dessert before dinner, and believes you are the most special apo in the world, even if you just spent 8 hours on TikTok.
Can have a slightly negative connotation, implying that the person being indulged might become spoiled ('laki sa layaw').
