Background edit

The segments of the sausage are uniquely divided by small pieces of coconut leaf midribs (sometimes mistaken for toothpicks). Each sausage string usually has six segments and is traditionally tied at the end with a length of buli palm fiber. The sausages are celebrated in an annual "Longganisa Festival" in Alaminos.[1][2][3][4][5]
