The original "middle child" before Sangko came along. If Kuya is the boss, Diko is often the cool, more approachable vice-president of the sibling hierarchy. A term of respect and endearment rooted in Chinese-Filipino family culture.
From Hokkien `二哥` (di-gō/jī-ko), meaning 'second elder brother'.
Part of the Chinese-Filipino honorific system for siblings, which also includes Kuya, Ditsi, Sangko, etc.
