EN: to be assigned
That feeling when you're in a group project and everyone looks at you for the presentation part. 'Sino'ng matotoka sa pag-encode?' is the office equivalent of 'Who's on dishwashing duty tonight?'. It means it's your turn in the barrel, bes. The universe has chosen you, for better or for worse.
From Spanish 'tocar', meaning 'to touch' or 'to be one's turn'.
Commonly used in the context of being assigned a task, duty, or shift, often by a group or a superior.
