This is what the priest does to your new car so you don't get into accidents, or to a new house so the ghosts from the previous tenants move out. It's the formal version of your lola saying "God bless you" before you leave the house.
From `pag-` + `be-` (repetition prefix) + `bendisyon` (blessing, from Spanish 'bendición').
