EN: Saint (masculine)
The guy version of 'Santa'. Every barangay has a fiesta for one. It's also that collection of statues your lola has on the altar that you were forbidden to play with as a kid. Often abbreviated as 'Sto.' like in 'Sto. Niño'.
From Spanish 'santo' (holy, saint).
The feminine form is 'Santa'. The abbreviation 'Sto.' is very common in place names (e.g., Sto. Tomas, Batangas) and names of saints (e.g., Sto. Niño). The word 'santo' can also refer to the religious statue itself.
