Calata Corp breaks Guinness Record with ‘Lechon Party’



Calata Corporation brings honor to the Philippines by setting a new Guinness Record for the largest serving of lechon



Nov. 8, 2015, Calata Corporation, one of the largest agribusiness conglomerates in the Philippines, recently held a grand “Lechon Party”, achieving a Guinness World Record on the largest serving of roast pork. 

Liwasang Aurora in Quezon City Memorial Circle was a perfect venue for this lechon party event where thousands of people gathered for this gigantic lechon feast. Calata Corp shared this celebratory feast as an early Christmas treat for the less privileged residents of Metro Manila, as part of the company’s 16th anniversary.

Previously, the Guinness World Record on the largest serving of roast pork was held by Mexico where they served 3,094.2 kilos of cochinita pibil, a popular roast pork dish in its Yucatan region.  Calata Corporation topped the record by serving 4,046 kilos of the country’s well-loved version of roast pork – the lechon.

“This year, we celebrated our 16 successful years in the business by giving back to the community instead of having a lavish party. This is a very momentous occasion for the Philippines, to break the Guinness World Record for the ‘Largest serving of lechon’,” shared Joseph Calata, Chairman and CEO of Calata Corporation.
