EN: wake; vigil
This is the Filipino wake, a multi-day event that's part solemn vigil, part family reunion, and part 24/7 mahjong and coffee session. It's where you pay your respects to the deceased and offer condolences (and maybe some *abuloy*) to the family. It's the ultimate 'last call' for saying goodbye.
From pag- (gerund prefix) + burol (wake, vigil).
ROOT MEANING: wake; vigil for the dead
Often shortened to just 'burol'.
