    I think I understand "Señor." But what about "Pit?" Ano ba ibig sabihin nito?

    a contraction (you know how fond we are of doing it - ex. balay (house) becomes bay, kalayo (fire) becomes kayo)...

    this is from the word "sampit" or "sangpit" which means to call upon somebody...

    so the person uttering this phrase is calling on the Señor Sto. Niño...

    I still have a problem with the "senyor" part. If for Sto. Nino, that's baby Jesus. Why Senyor? I thought senyor is for an adult.

    BNK, the poor ignorant Cebuano of yore were not taught to speak Spanish by the friars. They heard the Spaniards say "Senyor" or Señor" as a sign of respect. So when the had to mention the name of the Sto. Niño, they thought it was just right to say Señor as a sign of respect. Kaya ayun, Señor Sto. Niño, Señor San Pedro, Señor San Roque, etc, etc. "Pit Senyor" , BNK!
