WHEELING, Illinois (AP) - Practicing a Filipino tradition has gotten a Wheeling man in trouble with the law.

Amante Enad says he has received a citation for roasting pigs in his back yard. He claims village officials are unfairly barring him from a cultural and religious tradition, and has ordered him to get rid of his roasting equipment.

Enad says he doesn't charge for his services, providing it free to religious festivals at a Glenview church. He said he does so out of gratitude for prayers answered when his wife recovered in 2005 from hip surgery.

The Wheeling Department of Community Development cited Enad last week after he was mentioned in a newspaper story about roast pork.

Enad says he will argue his case before a judge next week in the Rolling Meadows branch of Cook County Circuit Court.

Mr. Enad will have an interesting case kay first, pwede nya i insist na cultural thing ni sya.  Pareho gud nang ubang mga Muslim ladies who refused to take off their purong when taking pictures for their Driver's License kay lagi that's an intrusion to their religious beliefs.  Mao na dayon, they insisted of the racial discrimination thingie pero wala jud sila na grant ani na case.  For Mr. Enad, ang problema lang gud kay he has to have a permit to do this kay ga involve man gud ug food and they are so strict here when it comes to food and sanitation.  Naa man Pinoy dre na ga lechon sa ilang neighborhood but they are doing this for business so presumably naa ni silay permit to do so.
