FIL: Siya rin o iyon din; walang iba kundi ang tinutukoy; ang mismong isa.
EN: none other; the very one
The dramatic way of saying 'the one and only.' It’s used for emphasis, like when you're pointing at the person who stole the last piece of chicken joy: 'Siya, at di-iba, ang kumuha!' It's the mic drop of identifying someone or something.
From 'di-' (not) + 'iba' (other). Literally 'not other'.
Often used in the emphatic phrase 'siya at di-iba' (he/she and no other) or 'iyon at di-iba' (that and no other).
