EN: sweet cured meat (usually pork)
That iconic red, sweet, and savory pork dish that's a staple in Filipino breakfast. It's the 'To' in 'Tocilog'. Frying it until the sugar caramelizes and the edges get a bit crispy is a national sport.
From Spanish 'tocino', which originally means "bacon" or "cured pork belly". The Filipino version evolved into a distinct sweet cured meat.
While pork is the most common, chicken tocino also exists and is widely available.
