EN: proof; reinforcement; evidence
This is your "resibo" (receipt) when you need to prove a point. In a legal sense, it's your evidence. In construction, it's the rebar that makes the concrete stronger. In a relationship, it's that screenshot you saved just in case. "Anong patibay mo na nandoon ka nga?"
From `pa-` (instrumental/causative prefix) + `tibay` (strength, durability).
ROOT MEANING: durability; strength; resilience; sturdiness
Commonly used in legal, contractual, and even informal contexts to mean proof or evidence.
