EN: to catch (something falling); to take responsibility for
On one hand, **sapuhin** means to literally catch your falling phone. On the other, more 'hugot' hand, it's when you take the fall for your team's mistake at work. "Sige, ako na ang sasapo niyan." (Alright, I'll take responsibility for that.) It's the ultimate act of a hero or a martyr, depending on the situation.
ROOT MEANING: to catch something falling; to support from underneath
