I was so shocked this morning knowing that the person who invented the famous "sisig" is already dead. I would not be so damned concerned about her if she just died by normal death, but the sad thing is she was killed by a hammer by someone who until now, police doesn't have any hint about the killer identity.

Lucita Cunanan, a.k.a "Aling Lucing", a native of Pampanga was found dead on her own home due to massive head injuries caused by a hammer. Mysteriously, police haven’t found any trace of force entry to her home and that the helper did not even hear any struggling or something hideous going on inside of their house. Aling Lucing lived together with her husband, who went out at 4:30 am to buy food, and their helper. When her husband came back, he saw his wife already dead of hammering. News also indicated that the necklace Aling Lucing always wore is missing. Somehow, the motive of the killer is not only by killing her but also to steal if my presumptions are correct. But it is also quite amazing that the crime was done just after the husband was out, that leads me to conclusion that the killer was no other person to them. Plus the fact that, the helper was left unharmed.

Sisig has always been a part of the menu for some Filipinos. May it be in parties or just simply drinking sessions, there will always be a sisig on the table. I myself admitted that I am so hooked up to that sisig. DOT (Department of Tourism) already featured the cuisine of Aling Lucita on their website to attract travelers coming to Pampanga. (See here). Aling Lucita first introduced the dish during 1970’s having pig cheek, pork liver and intestines with pepper for the spice as one of her main ingredients.

Amidst the tragic end of Aling Lucita, Pinoys will always be thankful for the dish she imparted. A truly remarkable lady who did not only put her name on the history but also put fame on Pampanga. May you found peace and justice on your final destination. Although I may not know you or meet you personally, But I thank you for the sisig.
