EN: draftee; conscript
This is the person who gets a 'You're in the army now' letter from the government, whether they like it or not. Think mandatory ROTC but for real, national-level service. It's the ultimate 'walang choice' moment, where your country calls and you have to answer.
From `tao` (person) + `tinawag` (called) + `sa` (to) + `pagsusundalo` (act of being a soldier) + `o` (or) + `pagmamarino` (act of being a marine/sailor).
ROOT MEANING: a call, a name/title
