Sorry lol. my keyboard is crazy! To answer this question. We say Mabuhay kamo instead of kayo.. because kayo is a tagalog term. Kamo is Bicolandia term for them/they . If we are addressing a few we will say kamo. If we are addressing an entire groups of people we say Mabuhay kamo gabos (plural). Gabos meaning everyone/everything. To foreigners wondering what Mabuhay is. It means Long Live to you (singular) or long live to all of you. (plural)
Mabuhay Ka = singular.
Mabuhay kamo = said to a few people you know.
Mabuhay kamo gabos/Mabuhay sa gabos or Mabuhay saindo gabos = addressed to entire groups people or a huge crowd.
I hope this is clearer now haha.
