I never thought lechon could be attributed to the Spanish.
In grade school, I read a book about a Chinese father and son who came home from toiling on the farm all day. They were distressed that their house was burning, and with it, the pig in the sty. The father accidentally touched the burnt pig and brought his fingers to his mouth to cool it. That's when he realized it was delicious, and lechon was born!
The stance here grabs attention. You call out the clutter, push for a hard reset on how we see things. The weight of old frames, the need to rethink stands out. This hits with bold clarity, dang!
A great read, I appreciated your discussion about giving credit to the colonizers. I think this is something I’ve unfortunately seen with a lot of groups, but I had no idea about Filipinos
Thanks for reading! Yeah, unfortunately if you live in a country named after a Spanish king and then a chunk of the history taught about your country revolves around Spanish rule that’s what happens.
