EN: gold
The OG bling. Before credit cards and Gcash, this was the ultimate status symbol. In the Philippines, it's also part of a superstitious counting game for stairs: "**oro**, plata, mata" (gold, silver, death). You always want to end on **oro** or plata, never mata. So next time you build a house, count the steps!
From Spanish 'oro'.
'Ginto' is the more common, native Tagalog term. 'Oro' is often used in specific contexts like the "oro, plata, mata" superstition or in jewelry shop names.
