00:00Aside from ham, the Lechon is also a staple in Hapag ng Ilan every Christmas Eve.
00:08It's now being sold in La Loma in Quezon City, but the Health Department has a reminder.
00:14From there, Raffy Quima is live.
00:17Raffy?
00:21Mayor, despite the heavy rains, the buyers are still buying from La Loma.
00:28It's hard to find someone who's willing to buy from La Loma every Christmas Eve.
00:32It's not just the Lechon that's expensive, but there's a lot to choose from.
00:41As expected, the Lechon is a blockbuster here in La Loma.
00:45The line of Golden Crispy Lechon doesn't take long to arrive.
00:50This Lechon will soon be on display.
00:53It's not that expensive.
00:55Although the Lechon is a bit short, the price is still around 8,000 to 10,000 pesos.
01:04This family has been selling Lechon for more than two decades.
01:08They prepare the Lechon every Christmas Eve.
01:11Before, they could only buy 6,500 Lechon.
01:14Now, the price has doubled.
01:16For 25,000 pesos, we need a Lechon.
01:20So even if the Lechon is expensive, you will continue this tradition?
01:24Yes.
01:27In fact, these Lechon are already cheap because most of the pork comes from backyard hog raisers.
01:33But because the preparation is fast, it's really expensive once it's cooked.
01:38From the cutting that is done in this part of the establishment until the Lechon is cooked,
01:44it takes up to 6 to 8 hours depending on the size.
01:49The Lechon has been cooked for two hours and it's almost done.
01:53They add a secret ingredient that makes the Lechon more delicious.
02:00But DOH reminds us to be careful when eating fat foods like Lechon.
02:05Even if there are a lot of preparations, our diet should still be balanced.
02:09So our plate should have half of fruits and vegetables,
02:12one-fourth of carbohydrates or rice and pancit,
02:16and one-fourth of Lechon, Hamon, etc.
02:19Chito, who sells Lechon in La Loma, admitted that he knows someone who avoids Lechon.
02:25My stomach hurts.
02:28That's why you should be careful when eating fat foods.
02:36Most of the stores here close at 10 p.m.
02:39But there are also open 24 hours.
02:41Tomorrow, they will return to selling Lechon.
02:44It is expected that many people will still buy until the end of the new year.
02:49That's the latest from La Loma.
02:51Mel?
02:52Rafi, please help me there.
02:54My skin is itching.
02:57Thank you very much, Rafi Tima.
