EN: crush (infatuation)
This is the slang version of 'crush'. 'Sino durog mo sa kabilang section?' (Who's your crush in the other section?). It's that person who makes your heart go from 'buo' to 'durog' (in a good way, hopefully). It's a playful, slightly more 'kalye' (street) way to talk about your secret love.
From the English word 'crush', re-interpreted through the Tagalog word 'durog' (crushed), likely as a playful calque or pun.
This is a modern slang usage, popular among younger generations. It's a pun on the English 'crush' and the Tagalog 'durog' (crushed).
