3. As a "crib" in the slang sense (like a place to get illegal drugs):

* There's no direct translation for this in Tagalog. You might use tambayan or pinagtatambayan (a hangout or gathering place) or tambangan (a place where something is sold) depending on the context. However, it's best to avoid using these terms as they can have negative connotations.
