EN: Christmas gift, Christmas bonus
The most awaited word from September to December. This is your 13th-month pay, the aguinaldo from your ninongs and ninangs, or the Christmas bonus you've been dreaming of to fund your holiday shopping. "Ma'am/Sir, pamasko po!" is the official line of carolers and anyone hoping for a little Christmas cheer (in cash form).
From `paN-` + `Pasko`. `Pasko` is from Spanish 'Pascua' (originally Easter, but in the Philippines refers to Christmas). The `paN-` prefix (`pam-` before 'p') indicates something intended for or related to the root word.
Can refer to a gift, money (aguinaldo), or a bonus given specifically for Christmas.
