This is what happens to your sahod on payday: may pag-aawas for SSS, PhilHealth, Pag-IBIG, and tax. It's also the term for unloading goods from a truck, or when the jeepney conductor yells "May bababa ba?" to make space. It's basically "making less" of something, whether it's your take-home pay or the number of people in a vehicle.
From `pag-` (gerund prefix) + `a` (euphonic liaison) + `awas` (to deduct, to unload).
ROOT MEANING: overflow; spill
Can refer to financial deductions, physical unloading of cargo, or reduction in quantity.
