Baboy, belly, or manok
Lechon baboy is the whole roasted pig. In Filipino, lechon is an umbrella term for roasted pig, and it is used more often for weaned or adult pigs than for suckling pigs. Suckling pig is called lechon de leche (Wikipedia). Whole lechon baboy is sold by pax size, which is why the menu cards list sizes such as 15 pax and 50 pax. Mila's lists a 15-pax whole lechon baboy at ₱12,000 and a 50-pax size at ₱17,500.
Lechon belly is pork belly roasted as one unit. A 2018 Philstar piece describes it as "still 'whole' lechon, because the pork belly is rolled and roasted as one unit" (The Freeman). Plateful's menu cards price it by weight. Sabroso lists a 1/4 kilo at ₱475 and a 1 kilo at ₱1,900. Cebu's Original Lechon Belly lists a 1/4 kilo at ₱295 and a 1 kilo at ₱1,180.
Lechon manok is chicken. The restaurant names say so: Andok's Lechon Manok in Quezon City and Baliwag Lechon Manok in Makati. The Makati record describes rotisserie chicken as quick, affordable takeout. Neither record has menu card prices on Plateful.
