EN: sponsor; benefactor; godparent
Has two main flavors in the PH. The wholesome one: your ninong/ninang at your binyag or kasal, who's supposed to be a spiritual guide but is mostly known for giving aguinaldo (Christmas cash). The not-so-wholesome one: the "sponsor" (aka sugar daddy/mommy) who funds a lavish lifestyle in exchange for... well, "companionship." The term can shift from a family gathering to a gossip column topic in a heartbeat.
From English 'sponsor'.
The meaning is heavily dependent on context. It can refer to a godparent (ninong/ninang), a financial backer for an event, or a sugar daddy/mommy.
