EN: a summons; a call
This is what your mom yells when she needs you to get your sibling for dinner: "Patawag mo nga ang kuya mo!" It's also the formal term for a summons from the barangay captain when your neighbor complains about your dog's late-night karaoke sessions. It's basically a "You've been summoned!" moment.
From `pa-` (causative prefix, "to have something done") + `tawag` (call).
ROOT MEANING: a call, a name/title
Can refer to a command to call someone, or the summons itself. As a noun, it refers to the formal notice.
