EN: freckles
Those little brown spots on your face that some people try to hide with concealer and some people think are super cute. In the Philippines, it's often associated with getting older or too much sun exposure ('bilad sa araw'). Titas will recommend all sorts of creams for your 'pekas', but hey, they're just your skin's unique constellations. Can also refer to melasma.
From Spanish 'pecas' (freckles).
Can refer to both freckles (common in youth) and melasma/age spots (more common in adults).
