See tao-tao in All languages combined, or Wiktionary

Noun

IPA: /ˌtaʔo ˈtaʔo/ [Standard-Tagalog], [ˌt̪aː.ʔo ˈt̪aː.ʔo] [Standard-Tagalog] Forms: ᜆᜂᜆᜂ [Baybayin]
Rhymes: -aʔo Etymology: Reduplication of tao. The word does not exist in older dictionaries and may have been a recent coinage patterned from other Philippine languages, which were derived from Proto-Philippine *tau-tau (“pupil (eye)”), from Proto-Malayo-Polynesian *tau tau, from Proto-Austronesian *Cau Cau (“pupil of the eye”), reduplication of *Cau (“person”). Compare Tagalog balintataw, Ilocano tao-tao, Bikol Central alintataw / tatawo, Cebuano tawo-tawo, and Tausug tau-tau mata.
