What do people from the phillipenes eat?!
Answers: i want to impress a guy, but i have nooo idea!
Lumpia is the Phillipine version of eggroll and is much tastier in my opinion. I also like Pancit Canton (chinese style noodles) , Halo-halo (snow cone like dessert with lots of extra stuff), and palamig (banana flavored punch)

when I was over there we ate a lot of seafood..
chicken adobo is also VERY good..
They eat a lot of crap because they have a muslim terrorist problem in their country; but I had a Phillapino friend, and he sided with Japanese or Korean (watch the Korean! It's very good, and also most of the dishes are very SPICY-HOT!!!) Kalbe or bibim-bap are very good on the Korean menu. You might like to try to also find a chinese resaurant where the food is cooked by Koreans, Korean style, like they do for their own people. If you find one, try the sweet and sour meatballs; it's nothing like you'd find in a regular chinese restaurant. Good luck!!
In the capital city of Manila, Metro Manila Commission Ordinance 82-05[53] specifically prohibits the killing and selling of dogs for food. More generally, the Philippine Animal Welfare Act 1998[54] prohibits the killing of any animal other than cattle, pigs, goats, sheep, poultry, rabbits, carabaos, horses, deer and crocodiles except in the following instances:
When it is done as part of the religious rituals of an established religion or sect or a ritual required by tribal or ethnic custom of indigenous cultural communities; however, leaders shall keep records in cooperation with the Committee on Animal Welfare;
When the pet animal is afflicted with an incurable communicable disease as determined and certified by a duly licensed veterinarian;
When the killing is deemed necessary to put an end to the misery suffered by the animal as determined and certified by a duly licensed veterinarian;
When it is done to prevent an imminent danger to the life or limb of a human being;
When done for the purpose of animal population control;
When the animal is killed after it has been used in authorized research or experiments; and
Any other ground analogous to the foregoing as determined and certified by a licensed veterinarian.
Nevertheless, as is reported from time to time in Philippine newspapers, the eating of dog meat is not uncommon in the Philippines.[55] DogMeatTrade.com,[56]an organization working in the Philippines to eliminate the eating of dogs in the country, estimates that 500,000 dogs are killed annually in the Philippine Islands for human consumption.[57]
In the Province of Benguet, Resolution 05-392 has been passed declaring, among other things, "it has been an evolved cultural practice of indigenous peoples of the Cordillera the butchering of animals, dogs included, as part of their rituals and practices leading to its commercialization to a limited extent, and had become an inevitable common necessity in their way of life"; and resolving, among other things, "to seek the help and assistance of the Committee on Animal Welfare, Department of Agriculture, the Regional Police Office, Cordillera Administrative Region, the Provincial Police Office, Benguet Province, for the proper observance of the said rights of indigenous peoples".[58]
