Uyab 

A Visayan (Southern-Philippines) term for girlfriend or boyfriend. It does not determine the gender however it has the same meaning. Not so long ago Visayans were very strict in terms of uyab-uyab (gf-bf relationships), today there are a lot of young individuals engaging in this activity and thus is one of the main causes of over population in the Philippines.
