The sounds of Filipino music and sights of traditional Filipino dance served as the backdrop to the grand opening Friday of Sonoma County's first Filipino market that made sure to have plenty of Lechon — a slow-roasted suckling pig — on hand for the event. Kabayan Filipino Market, located at 6590 Commerce Blvd. in Rohnert Park, has been open seven days a week for a few weeks following a soft opening at the end of July. Owner Armie Rivera had a suggestion box for customers to request Filipino items so she could have them on the shelves in time for the grand opening.
