Bastos has 2 meanings in the Philippines. It depends on which situation.

For example:

When an elder is talking and you turn your back on them or interrupt them. They will tell you "Bastos!". In this situation it means you're being disrespectful and rude.

Another example: If you have a friend that is talking dirty or your friend is touching a girl in her sensitive parts. They will be called Bastos meaning dirty, lecherous, perverted.

Both meanings may derive from the Spanish word, basta, meaning "enough!" as in "Stop that, you have gone too far."
