Now Made in the USA!
Longganisa or Philippine Blood Sausages was handed initially taught by the spaniards during the colony period but then it became popular that practically every region in the philippines makes it's own version (versions are spicy, sweet, garlicky, sour etc and made of pork or beef or carabeef or chicken or even fish).
Now these blood sausages are mad here in the USA and you can buy them at $ 7 a pack (1 puond a pack) at Manila Oriental Market in Daly City or at any Pan Asian Supermarket.

Filipino Style Convenience Stores (called Sari-sari in Tagalog) are sprouting like mushrooms in the bay area due to the large Fil-Am prescence and they offer practically anything like food, mechandise, dry goods, chocolates, Pre-paid SIM cards (even philippine phone carriers like SMART and GLOBE), Xerox Copy, Notary Public, Asian Tours & travel and Even Door to Door Deliveries of Balikbayan Boxes. While the customers are mostly Fil-Ams, their other asian, caucasian, african-american and latino customers are slowly growing due to the personlized nature of these convenience stores!

filipino-americans are fond of giving relatives and friends back in the philippines lots of stuff and to save cost on expensive crates, they devised the cheaper balikbayan box (an expanded rectangular carton) to be filled with lots of stuff that can be delivered via shipping to the philippines via door to door delivery.

A Comparison.
Besides the Price (Philippine Made Marlboros only cost $ 0.60 a PACK in the philippines!)
the Taste (Philippine Marlboros have a slightly bland taste)
the Warning Labels (Philippine Marlboros have Governement Warning instead of Surgeon General Warning)
and obviously the length.
