FIL: Ang madre na namumuno sa isang komunidad ng mga relihiyosa sa isang kumbento o monasteryo.
EN: mother superior
The ultimate boss of the convent. Think of the head nun in 'Sister Act' or any Filipino movie set in a Catholic school. She's often portrayed as strict but with a heart of gold, the one who maintains order and makes sure everyone says their prayers. The term has a very classic, Noli Me Tángere era vibe.
From Spanish 'superiora'.
Specifically refers to the female head of a religious convent.
