In Transit


At Baliwag Manok Lechon Liempo beside Super8 in Meycauayan there was a handsome Moreno employee.  Moreno went out of Baliwag and sat by the side of the road near an Old Man who was smoking.  It seemed like Moreno unloaded his angsts to Old Man.  After a while, Old Man wiped something away from Moreno’s lips using his left thumb.  H’m.  The public utility jeep moved away, so I was not able to see what happened next.

We, Filipinos, usually think of roasted pig when we hear the word lechon.  However, lechon manok or roasted chicken became popular not so many decades ago; so, we now see quite a number of food stores selling lechon manok like Baliwag Manok Lechon Liempo.

Liempo is pork belly.

Super8 is a chain store like Walmart.

Meycauayan is a city in the Province of Bulacan.

Moreno is a loanword, from Spanish, that means dark.
