What is Lechon: The Philippines about?

Lechon is considered one of the famous dishes in the Philippines, traditionally served at celebrations but now also regularly. The word lechon comes from the Spanish word for milk, as originally young suckling pigs were used. While roasted pork has long been part of Filipino culture, Spanish influence led to tagging roasted pig as "lechon." Cebu City was the first to commercially produce lechon in the 1920s, sparking its popularity nationwide and competition between lechon stores offering modified recipes.
