This is the verb form of "kaibigan" (friend). It's what you do when you see someone cool at a party and decide, "Yep, I'm gonna add them to my circle." It's the active process of turning a stranger into a tropa. Think of it as sending a friend request in real life.
From `ka-` (co-member of a group) + `ibig` (like, love) + `-an` (nominalizer) -> `kaibigan` (friend) + `-in` (verbalizer).
