"ingat sila sayo" actually sounds more like "they should be careful around you" but if you were to say "sila ang iingat sayo" it would mean "they will take care of you"

They already told the right meaning in the previous comments so I'm gonna tell you how it is used or when to use it.
Usually it's used as a joke. When you say that to someone (assuming you are close with him/her) instead of saying "ingat ka" (be careful), some say this instead to make fun of their friend who is known for being naughty.
