EN: to close; to shut (one's mouth)
When your friend is about to spill a secret in the wrong company and you give them "the look." Their mouth immediately does this. It's the physical manifestation of "shut up." Also what you do when your Tita asks, "Kailan ka ikakasal?" You just smile and **tumikom** ang bibig.
Most often used as 'tumikom ang bibig' (to shut one's mouth), implying silence or refusal to speak.
