Why do Filipinos love pig lechon?

Pointy

It's the culture ... same way Americans love their steaks and barbeque ... same reason the Mexicans love their tacos and enchiladas ... same reason the Italians love their pasta and so on and so forth.

Simply because it is a culinary masterpiece. It whets and sates the appetite.
FYI Mexico is many thousands of miles away from the Philippines.

because lechon is part of the Filipino culinary culture... anyway, you have to cross the entire Pacific Ocean from Mexico to get to the Philippines; that's thousands of miles away......

Dude, Mexico is a long way from Philippines donâ€™t worry be happy, anyway those Mexican pigs are just envious of the famous Filipino Lechon..

JUST THINKING OF IT MAKES ME HUNGRY.
WHO CARES ABOUT THAT SWINE FLU OUTBREAK IN MEXICO?

Why not? The flavor of pork fat is widely considered by the best culinary chefs in the world as the tastiest.

Why do Americans love to shove a pound of tasteless bloody steak down their throats?

How about Chinese eating turtles and cats?

It's all relative.

On June 24 try to visit Balayan, Batangas, around 500 lechon is at parade on St. John's feast.

Because the skin is so delicious.

We don't care because we're eating in Philippines not in Mexico.

Lechons are yummy, especially the skin. :]

Lechon is believed to be an all time favorite here in Phils.

I would think the main reason is that the nobel pig is the only red meat animal suited for the islands. Yet, in the Muslim south you will probably find some goats. Filipinos eat more fish than pig and lots of chickens, too.

it's just a part of their culture.

i know that some mexican foods make me want to puke because i can taste the slaughter house in them.

yeah go filipinos!!! im filipino!!!!!!! woot woot! yeah we like it cuz its a cultural/customary type thing. leave us alone! and its kinda cool to see a whole pig w/ a stick stuck in its mouth and coming out its butt

For the same reason anyone that tries it know's it's tastes good.
Swine Flu is in Mexico and we are in the Philippines. It's a little paranoid to stop eating pork on the other side of the world because of a flu outbreak, don't you think ?

It's the only food that's crispy on the outside and tender, tasty, and juicy on the inside. Abundant with all the nutrients and fats that all Pinoys love. Great with SMB buddies.

FYI, Mexico is on the other side of the globe.
