Isabela is the top 10 richest province in the Philippines and agriculture is their way of living. Having said that, I'm not expecting commodities or cost of living as high as Makati, Manila or city prices. Anyway, how many are few? In today's market the price of pig is P115 per kg for the first 100kg. In excess of 100kg the price is less (P105).

Meaning if you're buying 1 pig of 90kg the total price is P10,350 or £141. A 102kg pig is worth (100kg x P115) + (2kg x P105) = P11,710. The £100 worth pig is good for roasting and we called it lechon.
