Hello there guest! I'll try to answer your queries, but I think one or two are not really idioms, just very old Tagalog phrases

Ahas na tulog - it means a person who is quiet but is a traitor

Babasaging kristal - it means a person (in most cases referring to a woman) who is dainty and with just a little carelessness or negligence might be ruined. I think, the ruination here pertains to the loss of virtue or reputation, or anything along that line

Kinain ng laho - Laho, I think means eclipse... so, I think this means a disappearing act, or something went missing and its whereabouts is unexplainable.

Laman ng lansangan - a person who is always on the streets or a person who considers the streets his home.

Lawit ng pusod - means the umbilical vein
