EN: Well-built; good posture
This is the Pinoy version of 'swag' but for your body. It's not just about being muscular; it's about how you carry yourself. 'Yung tindig-pogi, 'yung lakad na may kumpiyansa kahit butas ang bulsa. A person with 'tikas' looks like they can carry a sack of rice or a conversation with equal ease. Think of a classic Fernando Poe Jr. pose.
Can be used as a noun ('may tikas' - has good posture) or an adjective ('matikas' - well-built).
