EN: cemetery
This is the OG 'final resting place' before memorial parks became a thing. Think old, Spanish-era churchyards with creepy statues. It's the setting for 90% of Filipino horror movies, where a 'white lady' is practically a required resident. Often used interchangeably with 'sementeryo', but 'pantiyon' has a more classic, almost spooky vibe.
From Spanish "panteón" (pantheon, mausoleum).
Often used interchangeably with 'sementeryo'. 'Pantiyon' has a slightly more archaic or formal feel.
