❥ Filipino endearment words featuring Hanbin because I miss him so much. By Filipino, I meant endearment terms in the Philippines from different dialects.

SINTA: darling; cherished one
A term not commonly used nowadays in conversations but can be predominantly found in songs and poems about love. The word dates back from the spaniards. Considered a "deep" word that holds so much meaning when used. Romantic endearment.

MAHAL: love
Not to be mistaken from it's other meaning which is "expensive", this is a very common endearment used in PH. Romantically used.

IROG: dear one; beloved
Same as sinta, this is used as an endearment between lovers. We don't usually use in common conversations.
