FIL: Isang sikat na laro ng baraha na karaniwang isang uri ng sugal, na madalas ginagawa tuwing may lamay o burol.
EN: a card gambling game
The unofficial national sport at a Filipino wake (lamay). It's a card game that's technically illegal but everyone's tito seems to be a master of it. It's how the family of the deceased 'raises funds' and how guests stay awake through the night, fueled by coffee, pan de sal, and the thrill of the bet.
This is a specific type of card game using Spanish cards, often associated with wakes and funerals as a form of social gathering and fundraising.
