Ate - it is a honorific used for older sisters. It may also be used for older female cousins, relatives, or any female who is older than the speaker (could be a friend, a saleslady, etc.)
That is an example of a taglish/englog statement. Where a speaker speaks predominantly in either tagalog or english but mixes a little of the other.,
