October 15 is the fiesta of Talisay City and known for their "Lechon Festival" in honor of Patron St. Sta. Teresa de Avila. Lechon was introduced during Spanish regime and it is mostly referred to pork dish and eventually the main course for Filipino dishes.
Talisay City is situated south bound and one of the major cities comprises Cebu. It was derived from "Mantalisay tree" which is abundant on the city. It has 22 barangays and I live there for almost 3 decades now.
Now going back, a lot of people are looking forward to buy lechon during the big day since this will be cut off almost half of its original price. I remember that it took me an hour to lined up just to buy 100 pesos per kilo worth of lechon. Even people who are not resident in Talisay are making reservations.
I interviewed most of them and they say that its not the price but its the taste that makes it different from others.
