One well-known urban legend in Cebu City dates back to the Second World War when meat was hard to come by. Due to the scarcity of pork, cat meat was supposedly used by siopao makers in Colon. The story continued to spread even after the war. But, this particular urban legend may have resulted from the rivalry of two siopao makers who wanted to vilify each other by making disparaging remarks about the siopao of each other. These comments were eventually carried over even after the war. It soon evolved into the use of cat meat for the siopao.
