When you hear this word, think of politicians with unexplained wealth or transactions that seem fishy. It's the reason why 'under the table' deals exist. A system is 'patiwali' if you need a 'padrino' or 'lagay' just to get basic services done. It's the opposite of 'fair and square'.
Often used to describe systems, governments, or actions rather than just people.
