Thread the marinated pork onto skewers, alternating with pieces of onion and pineapple if desired.

Grill the skewers for about 10-15 minutes, turning occasionally, until the pork is cooked through and slightly charred.

Baste the skewers with the remaining marinade during grilling for added flavor.

Serve hot, garnished with fresh calamansi or lime wedges.
