EN: To dawn; for dawn to break
The official start time for BPO night-shifters going home, for early-bird joggers, and for your tita's "Good Morning" posts on Facebook with a picture of a coffee cup. `Magbukang-liwayway` is when the sky starts to lighten up, signaling the end of marathon Netflix sessions and the beginning of a new day full of possibilities (or just traffic).
From `mag-` (verb-forming prefix) + `bukang-liwayway` (dawn), which is a compound of `buka` (open) and `liwayway` (dawn).
ROOT MEANING: dawn; daybreak
