EN: Absolutely sure; positively certain
This is the upgraded version of 'tiyak'. It's when you're not just sure, you're "I'd bet my 13th-month pay on it" sure. It's the confidence level you have when you know the 'chismis' is 100% verified from the source. "Tiyak na tiyak kong siya ang kumain ng last piece ng lechon."
A reduplication used for emphasis, to convey absolute certainty and remove any shred of doubt.
