    I hate it so much lol I noticed it the first time he said “babby” and hoped it would stop and it only gets worse. I looked it up because I thought maybe it was exclusive to the Philippines and I think it is. “In Taglish slang, a mix of Tagalog and English spoken especially by younger people in the Philippines and Filipino diaspora, the word ‘bebe’ is based on and used to mean ‘baby.’”

    It seems like he’s just pronouncing it wrong and from him it’s just cringeworthy lol. Taglish is probably what gave us the names Gelo and Puding (whatever happened to them?!)
