What is Lintik?

The child: Sorry mom. I promise I will study!
The mom: English english ka pa jan! Next time mag basa ka at walang video games na yan ha?! (You're speaking english english like that! Next time, you read and there are no video games, all right ?!)
The child: Ok mom. I'll read. *Cries inside*.
Another Example:
Sally: Lumilintik na! HAYYYYY nako! (It's raining! HAYYYYY nako!)
Everyone: *Comes outside to pick up their laundry*
Another nother example:
