"Agba" is a word in HILIGAYNON

ágbà - Dumb, mum, silent, taciturn
(applied to persons who habitually talk
little, and rarely allow themselves to be
drawn into a conversation, but particularly
said of those, who on being questioned or
asked an explanation keep a sullen or
stubborn silence). Agbà nga táo. A very
taciturn man. Iníng batà ágbà gid. This is
a very stubborn child from whom it is
difficult to get an answer to questions.
Kaágbà sa ímo. How stubborn you are!
Have you lost your tongue! Indì ka
maginágbà or magpakaágbà. Don’t
pretend to be deaf and dumb. Don’t act as if
you could not speak. (N.B. ágbà is related
to apâ, but in speaking of persons afflicted
with dumbness "apâ” only is used and
never "ágbà”).
