EN: duckling; term of endearment
Literally, it's a baby duck. Quack quack. But in the Philippines, it's also a super common pet name for your girlfriend/boyfriend, short for "baby." If someone calls you `bibi`, they either think you're cute and fluffy or you're their significant other. Context is key! "Hi, bibi ko!"
Reduplication of the first syllable of "bibe" (duck), and/or influence from English "baby".
As a term of endearment, it's a shortened, cutesy version of "baby". The context (is there a duck involved?) will clarify the meaning.
