    Dude, that's not Filipino. That's Ilonggo, one of the Visayan languages. There are 37 widely-spoken endemic languages in this country. Anyway, that sentence (it's an actual sentence, not a phrase) means "You evil pest why don't you die?"

    Source(s): I speak Ilonggo, Tagalog, the bastardized Tagalog-English hybrid called Filipino, Japanese, and Welsh.

    @Apple, that's NOT Ilonggo that's Cebuano a Visayan dialect, it means:

    "you demonic pest, why won't you die?"

    @Apple, Yawa doesn't mean evil, it means demon/devil, evil is "mangtas".

    Source(s): I'm Cebuano
