The roasted pig is a staple whenever there are celebrations in my country. Birthdays, Christmas (especially here in Butuan, every Christmas party has a lechon), Fiestas, Weddings, etc., etc., the occasion will not be complete without the presence of the divine roasted pig. With its crispy skin and soft, delicious meat, you'll want to have a bite of this while it's still hot. The lechon is so in demand, especially during Christmastime, that you have to order more than two weeks in advance to make sure there's still an available supply of pig. Cebu is particularly famous for its delicious lechon, so famous that people from Manila will order from Cebu and have it brought by plane to Manila (the flight is about an hour) just for a special occasion. Really something, huh?
