                    [Summary] => To lovers of the best-tasting Cebu lechon, the twine used to sew shut the pig’s belly must be the least appetizing part.


To Lenelyn Carsula and other housewives like her, the twine is not just a throwaway detail. It is a lifeline ensuring the survival of their families in Barangay Subabasbas on the coastline of Lapu-Lapu City.


Ironically, despite the hundreds of lechon sold in and exported from Cebu daily, Carsula and other mangbebelyo (rope-weavers) like her earn only a measly sum of P6 for every standard length of coil.
