FIL: Isang alternatibong baybay para sa `pagpepenitensiya`. Tumutukoy sa kusang-loob na pagpapakasakit bilang tanda ng pagsisisi sa mga kasalanan.
EN: penance; penitence (variant spelling)
Same as `pagpepenitensiya`, just spelled the way it's more often said. Think of it as the "color" vs "colour" of Filipino religious terms. It's the same Holy Week tradition of self-flagellation and atonement, just with one less 'i', making it quicker to type in your group chat about where to watch it.
From `pag-` + `penitensya`, from Spanish `penitencia` (penitence).
This is a common, phonetic spelling of `pagpepenitensiya`. Both are understood and used interchangeably, though the `iya` spelling is more formal.
