P (pee) means mas matanda sayo, same thing as kuya or ate pero wala siyang certain gender na tinutukoy. N (nong) means mas bata sayo.
Ex: Kuya Phillip = P'phillip (pee phillip)
David (mas bata sayo) = N'david (nong david)

Hahaha my guess is you watch Thai series with subtitles right? So the sub use P which pronouns and stand for Pee is used when you call someone older than you like brother or sister ,both genders but don’t likely to use with someone wayyyy older like grandpa or grandma. N stands for Nong, is used when you call someone younger than you, any genders is fine. But we normally just call someone younger than us by their names. I hope this help. And please visit Thailand :)
