Kwentong Lechoneros
La Loma Festival wouldn’t be successful as it is today without the bamboo that continued to pillar the lechon industry in La Loma, our Lechoneros.

William Chua, one of the owners and manager of Ping Ping’s Native Lechon and Restaurant revealed that their business started in 1977, it started as a simple eatery for lechoneros, vendors and sabongeros. From starting with four employees, Ping Ping grew into one of the famous lechon stores in the country.
“Madaling araw, ala-una, gigising na hanggang sa dumating ang baboy. Kailangan hindi ka puyat, malakas ang resistensya mo, pero papalit-palit naman kami dahil tatlo kaming nagluluto ng lechon.” said Arturo Ayapan regarding his experience as a lechonero in Ping Ping’s Native Lechon and Restaurant for 18 years.
And when we say lechon, from head to toe, there’s no waste.
In the south of La Loma, you will find the latest lechon dish invention. For fifty pesos, you can buy lechon laman-loob barbeque.
“During the pandemic, pumasok sa mind namin, paano ba ako makakagawa ng ibang paraan para ma-offset ko yung mga gastos ko. Sa La Loma niyo lang makikita ang barbeque laman loob!” Mang Ramon Ferreros, owner of Monchie’s Lechon, stated in an interview in Kwentong QC.
