EN: dad, daddy
A more 'alta' or 'sosyal' way to say 'tatay'. Often used interchangeably with 'daddy'. If your dad drives you to school in an SUV, you probably call him 'papa'. Also, the default name for the dad in many Filipino teleseryes.
From Spanish 'papá' (dad).
The stress is on the second syllable (/pa-PA/), which distinguishes it from 'Papa' (/PA-pa/) for the Pope. It is an informal term of endearment.
