In a frying pan, heat oil. Add chicken and sauté until the chicken is beginning to tenderize. Add the garlic and onion.

When chicken is tender, let simmer for 5 more minutes.

For the pork, preheat oven to 220°C/430°F (200°C fan). Season the pork with salt, pepper and olive oil. Place the pork in a baking rack. Put it in oven. Roast the pork for 1 and a half hours.

Meanwhile, mince garlic and set aside. Chop onions and set aside. Slice tomatoes into quarters and set aside.

Once pork has completed roasting in the oven, take it out, and leave in rack to cool. Cut it into bite size pieces. 

Heat up large pot at medium high heat until it becomes hot enough to evaporate water droplets. Add butter.

Fry the garlic and onion until it becomes aromatic. Add the pork.

Add the tomatoes, soy sauce, calamansi juice, peppercorns, and bay leaves. Stir fry for 5 minutes until pork is covered. Add water, brown sugar and sweet soy sauce. Simmer in medium low heat for 15 - 20 minutes.  

If pork lard doesn’t separate from the water, simmer for another 5 minutes.
