Hello there. "Jowa" is the street term for both "girlfriend and boyfriend". As far as I know it was derived from another street term "shota" which is a shortcut for "short time".

"jowa" is a pinoy slang of "girlfriend/boyfriend" just like in america they use the word "shawty" to replace their term for "my girl/my man" which means GIRLFRIEND or BOYFRIEND..hope it helps..

Yes, "jowa" is a street term or an informal way of saying girlfriend/boyfriend. But remember most people would think it's impolite to call your girlfriend/boyfriend "jowa" because you would sound like you are not serious in your relationship.
