This is what your high school teacher did to your test papers with a red pen. It's editing your friend's caption to fix their grammar, or your mom adjusting the `timpla` of your adobo. In the world of fake news, `pagwawasto` is the act of dropping the truth bombs and fact-checking receipts in the comments section.
From `pag-` (gerund prefix) + `wasto` (correct, right).
