EN: to summon; to have someone called
This is what your boss does when they need to see you, and you get that dreaded email: 'HR wants to see you.' That's your boss who decided to **magpatawag**. It can also be less scary, like when your lola decides to **magpatawag** ng family meeting kasi may bagong chismis. It’s an act of power, summoning your minions (or family members).
ROOT MEANING: a call, a name/title
Often implies that the person summoning is in a position of authority.
