You and your barkada all agreed to wear black, but you show up in neon pink. You just had to **maiba**. It's the urge to be unique, to stand out, or simply to change. Can be a good thing (innovation) or a bad thing (KJ, KillJoy). 'Para **maiba** naman' is the official slogan of someone tired of the same old routine.
From the root 'iba', meaning 'other' or 'different'.
Can mean 'to be different' or 'to become different/change'.
