EN: to loosen; to make more spacious; to ease (restrictions)
This is what you wish you could do to your jeans after a fiesta. It's also what the government does to quarantine restrictions (from ECQ to GCQ). It can mean physically making something bigger or less tight, or metaphorically easing rules, pressure, or even your schedule. 'Magpaluwag ka naman sa schedule mo para sa amin,' is a classic line from your friends.
From `mag-` (verb prefix) + `pa-` (causative prefix) + `luwag` (spaciousness, looseness).
