Manga Public Market

Overview

Manga Public Market is a daily market in Barangay Manga, Tagbilaran City, known primarily for lechon — whole roasted pig sold by the kilogram rather than by the animal. Selling it this way follows common Visayan market practice: a fiesta-scale dish gets broken into portions a household can actually finish, without the lead time a whole-pig order requires. Manga’s stalls keep it available every day, making the market one of the few consistent sources of freshly roasted lechon in the city outside fiesta season.
