When it comes to spicy lechon in Cebu, there is only one thing that comes to mind: Rico’s Lechon.

Mr. Enrico “Rico” Dionson’s business started in 1997 when he decided to find another way to provide a better future for his family. He got into the business by giving samples to friends and clients and handing out as many calling cards as possible. It wasn’t an easy journey — in fact, his very first customer feedback was that his lechon was just needed water to become the sea.

It was because of this that Mr. Dionson vowed to make sure that every single one of his lechons will be of best quality.

Rico’s Lechon got its big break when former president Joseph Estrada discovered his business, through a common friend, and had him prepare dozens of the Filipino favorite at the Malacañang Palace.

The business took off. Mr. Dionson also introduced the spicy lechon variety and, to date, the company sells around 2,000 to 4,000 pieces of lechon every month — all over the country.
