EN: godmother (for baptism)
This is the OG godmother, the one from your baptism. She's the one who held a candle for you and promised the priest she'd help raise you Catholic. While you can have a 'ninang sa kasal' (wedding sponsor), the 'ninang sa binyag' is the one you've been awkwardly asking for money from since you were a kid. She's your lifetime aguinaldo source.
Combination of 'ninang' (godmother) and 'binyag' (baptism).
ROOT MEANING: godmother
This term specifies the context of the godmother role, as opposed to a 'ninang sa kasal' (wedding sponsor) or 'ninang sa kumpil' (confirmation sponsor).
