From Insik (“Chinese”) + wakang (“ethnic slur expression used to tease Chinese”) + kaon (“to eat”) + kalibang (“to defecate”).

Literally, “Chinese (laborer), I work, eat, and shit!”. Also rhyming as a doggerel. Likely used during the late 1800s in the Late Spanish Colonial Era in the Philippines, when opium dens were rampant and many overseas Chinese migrants worked as low-wage laborers.
