EN: to have (something) toppled/demolished
This is what you do to an old, unstable wall or a tree that's threatening your roof during a typhoon. "**Ipabuwal** na natin 'yang pader bago pa may madisgrasya." On a grander scale, it's what activists shout about corrupt systems: "**Ipabuwal** ang rehimeng mapang-api!" From home renovation to political revolution, 'ipabuwal' gets it done.
From the causative prefix `ipa-` and the root word `buwal` (to fall, to be toppled).
ROOT MEANING: fallen; toppled; overthrown
Can refer to literal demolition (trees, walls) or figurative overthrowing (governments, leaders).
