Dunno but try calling this guy lolo (he is 75) and I'm sure he'll have a problem. BTW, I have met him, he's a big guy.

it is not aged based, it is state based;

a "tito" is a parents sibling ; ex. subzero has a brother named pluszero; pluszero has a child named Bokya; subzero is Bokyas' tito regardless of age.

a "manong" is an elder male , ex. a 7yr old boy is a manong of a 6 yr old boy or girl.

pao naman, you forgot to add to the illustration...

paolo is "manong" because being the most senior + instructor in the group he serves as our "village elder"... he is also a guy of very little words (pero with substance!) hence a more serious tone to his demeanor...

clgsamson is "tito" because although he too is among the senior members of the group his postings make him the older but fun type who gets the younger kids into harmless trouble - much like a favorite uncle... hence "tito"

jonix would fit the role of "kuya" which would be older brother... his combo of relative seniority yet relative inexperience allows him to join adult conversations and act as a positive role model to the younglings - really a guy we learn from while he learns himself...

now, since we're using message tones and demeanors as the basis, i have just relegated myself to "tutuy" - or the bottom of this familial food chain... i'm the noisy snot-nosed kid who's still wet behind the ears and has a lot to learn...

between "tutuy" and "kuya" would be "bata"... generic for "kid"...

female version of the "tutuy" would be "neneng" or "ineng"... up to iris to jump in on one of these if she wants to...

i have no research to back this up, but you should here my theory on michael jackson hehehehehe
