    means western people or guava :D joke. That means "it seems or looks like" example Parang kilala na kita It seems that I do know you

    in Indonesia, "parang" is the name of one of the traditional weapon. :D

    synonymous translation would be: look / seem / appear.

    another Tagalog (formal yet classic) version of "parang" is "tila". The most to equal is "mukha" (to appear).

    to translate in different version: "you appear / seem / look to be in trouble":

    'mukhang nababagabag ka.'
    'parang nababagabag ka yata.
    'tila yatang nababagabag ka'

    :)
