EN: metal caster, founder (foundry worker)
This is a super old-school profession. Before 3D printers, we had the 'mambububo'. These are the skilled artisans who melt metal and pour it into molds to make things like church bells, statues, or even cannons. Think of Panday Pira, the original Filipino blacksmith/caster.
This is a specific and now rare profession. The verb form 'magbubo' means 'to pour' or 'to cast metal'.
🇵🇭 Ang mga kampana ng simbahan ay gawa ng isang tanyag na mambububo mula sa Pampanga.
🇺🇸 The church bells were made by a famous metal caster from Pampanga.
🇵🇭 Kakaunti na lamang ang mga mambububo sa panahon ngayon.
🇺🇸 There are very few metal casters nowadays.
