A total of 22 pigs were roasted simultaneously during the feast of Barangay Lasip Chico in Dagupan City for “Lechonan ed Barangay.”

This marks the second year of the event, participated in by local lechon makers.

Visitors and residents were treated to free samples of roasted pigs or lechon, which were later offered for sale at discounted prices.

According to Aldex Meneses, the Barangay Chairman, the aim of the activity is to promote the lechon industry of the barangay and establish it as the Lechon Capital of Dagupan City.

“Nandito ang bulk ng mga litsonero natin sa siyudad ng Dagupan. At the same time, ‘yung ibang lechon house sa ibang lugar dito sa Pangasinan, dito nanggagaling ‘yung laborers nila. Kaya ‘yun sana ang gusto namin, makilala na ang Lasip Chico ay magiging lechon capital ng Dagupan,” Meneses said.
