DEMAND FOR LECHON UP—Due to increased demand, the price of lechon has now become prohibitive, with just a few days to go before Christmas. Lechon dealers say they could not cope with the numerous orders coming from all quarters, as no Christmas party is held without mouth-watering lechon on the table. The Department of Health, however, warns the public to go slow with lechon as too much intake may lead to stroke and heart attack. (PUNCHphoto by Butch Uka)
