That particular stretch of time — usually when life gets stressful, someone in the group is struggling, or major events are happening — when everyone leans on their most reliable, older-sibling-energy friend. Kuya szn is unofficial and unannounced but everyone knows it when it arrives. The designated kuya of the friend group starts getting more texts, more calls, more 'can we talk' messages. It can also describe a cultural moment when responsible, grounded, big-sibling vibes are just what the timeline needs — as opposed to chaos era or clown szn.
