EN: teenager; youth
The OG Pinoy slang for 'teenager', coming from 'bagong tao' (new person). Before there were 'Gen Z' or 'millennials', there were 'bagets'. It's what your tito calls you when you're still in high school or college, probably while reminiscing about the 80s movie of the same name.
Slang, portmanteau of "bago" (new) and "tao" (person), popularized by the 1984 film "Bagets".
Considered somewhat dated slang by younger generations but is still widely understood.
