Davao Region printed ₱154.49/kg in June 2026, down ₱19.71 since March, and SOCCSKSARGEN was the cheapest region in the Philippines at ₱141.98.

A kilo of liempo cost ₱380 at the BAI-monitored stall in early July 2026. The raiser who grew that pig was paid ₱171.76 a kilo liveweight. Everybody has a theory about where the difference goes. This one is built from four price series published every week, and the answer is not the one people shout.

A pig dresses out at about 72–78% of liveweight. A 100 kg pig yields roughly 72–78 kg carcass, so a ₱185/kg liveweight price is not a ₱185/kg dressed price. Here is the math and how to protect yourself at the sale.
