While I think it's cool to replicate what you have experienced in the Philippines, and I do believe you should go ahead and use the technique, I do not believe that lemongrass helps keep their hogs moist. Cooking it properly will keep it from drying out. Having been around ALOT of whole hogs in my life, I can attest that moisture is a product of the cook. In Filipino cooking, the lemongrass is for imparting a fragrance in their lechon.
