FIL: Ang pagbubuhat ng isang mabigat na bagay sa pamamagitan ng paglalagay nito sa balikat o likod.
EN: to carry on the shoulder or back
Literally, this is what a kargador at the palengke does with a sack of rice. Figuratively, it’s what every breadwinner, student with too many subjects, or person dealing with life's problems does. You carry the weight. It’s the physical and emotional act of shouldering a burden. 'Pasan ko ang daigdig' is the ultimate expression of this.
Often used figuratively to mean 'to shoulder a responsibility or burden.' The phrase 'magpasan sa likod' is slightly redundant as 'magpasan' already implies carrying on the back/shoulder, but it adds emphasis.
