EN: to have something blessed
That thing your tita does when she gets a new car, a new house, or even a new ref. 'Kailangan nating pabindisyunan 'to!' It's asking a priest to sprinkle holy water on something to ward off evil spirits, bad vibes, or maybe just to make sure the car doesn't get towed.
From `pa-` (causative) + `bindisyon` (from Spanish 'bendición', blessing) + `-an` (locative/object suffix).
Strongly associated with Roman Catholic practices in the Philippines.
