Filipino expressions have already been evolving as the years go by. With much influenced by the Western language and Asian languages, the Filipinos were able to derive terms and expressions, that are until now, being used daily and heard by many.
to the Urban Dictionary, it is the reversed form of "tigas", and "astig" had a new meaning that connote
phrase. Again, it's like the Filipino expression for "SHUT UP, YOU BITCH!" or "HELL, NO!" from the Americans, of course.

Weeh!! Hindi nga?!
Top in the hit chart is the expression--"ASTIG!" Take note! It's not
pronounced with a short "i". But a long "i". The longer your prolong the "i", the better! When you pronounce or say it "Astig", according
s: super cool in get-ups, wardrobe, hairstyle, and
everything. It is also parallel to the American expression: AWESOME! Or rather to the Japanese expression: SUGOY!
Next stop--"
ULOL". It may sounds off, but yes, it's really off. Well, for some, yes, for some no. According to my best friend--Urban Dictionary--"ulol" is a Filipino term o
r slang for stupid. Good thing about this expression is that it can be both a question and at the same time a
Lastly, the famous and never-changing expression of most Filipinos--"WEEEH?! HINDI NGA!?" Ever since I was a kid, I've already been hearing this for quite a lot from my elder cousins and relatives, that whenever someone would make a shocking news or some sort of an unbelievable report, they would normally express, or but in I should say, "Weeeh?! Hindi nga!?" Sometimes, they would add to the expression, "...pwera biro!" I personally use this a lot whenever I hear people revealing unnecessary stuff. Hehehe. But then again, it's parallel to the American expression "FOR REAL?!"
I can say that no matter what expression we use, we make use of them depending on the situation we are in. It also depends on the emotion that we have on the current situation. Like technology, words are also developing and evolving. May be in the long run, say fifty years, some of the Filipino expressions will may no longer be in use, but others will still remain as is, as fresh as the pancakes.
WEEEEEEH?! HINDI NGA!!!?
