EN: to pickle; to preserve in brine
This is how we get atchara from papaya or 'burong isda'. You **magburo** something by letting it ferment in a salty or sour solution. It's also a metaphor for letting a problem or a grudge sit and fester. 'Huwag mo nang i-buro 'yan sa isip mo' (Don't let that fester in your mind).
Can refer to pickling vegetables ('atchara') or fermenting fish/shrimp with rice ('burong isda'/'balao-balao').
