EN: achiever; high-flyer
That classmate who was president of every club, had perfect attendance, and still had time to tutor you in Math. In the office, they're the "Bida ang Saya" employee who always hits their KPIs and volunteers for extra work. They're the reason your parents would ask, "Bakit si [Achiever's Name], kaya niya? Ikaw, hindi?" (Why can [Achiever's Name] do it? But you can't?). They're basically walking, talking LinkedIn profiles.
From English "achiever." Widely adopted into Filipino, especially in academic and professional contexts.
Often used to describe students with high grades or employees with excellent performance. Can sometimes have a slightly negative connotation of being overly ambitious or a teacher's pet.
