In a pan over medium heat, fry fat from the pork skin in oil. Sauté garlic, onion, and siling labuyo for a few minutes.
Add chopped pork meat and saute.
Add tomato and mix. Mix in bagoong and continue cooking for a few minutes.
Add rice and cook until dried up. Spread mixture onto a plate. Set aside to cool.
Place a moderate amount of cooled bagoong rice in the middle of the pork skin. Wrap the skin around the mixture and tie it tightly into a log form, making sure there are no openings.
