Capital letters mark the stressed syllable — say it louder and slightly longer.
Bisaya stress is phonemic, meaning the wrong stress can change a word's meaning or make it unrecognisable to native speakers. For libog, put the main stress on the uppercase syllable in LI-bog. Practice by saying it slowly first, then gradually speed up to natural conversational pace.
Nalibog ako sa iyang sulti.
