FIL: Pagdating o paggawa ng isang bagay sa takdang oras; hindi nahuhuli at hindi rin masyadong maaga.
EN: on time, just in time, punctual
This is the opposite of "Filipino time." It's that rare, beautiful moment when your friend actually shows up at the agreed-upon 7 PM, not 7:30 PM. In the BPO world, this is non-negotiable. Being 'husto sa oras' for your shift is life.
From Spanish 'justo' (just, exact) and 'horas' (hours).
ROOT MEANING: enough, sufficient; correct, exact
A phrase emphasizing punctuality. A combination of 'husto' (exact) and 'oras' (time).
