1. Sisig: A classic Filipino snack made with finely chopped pork or chicken stir-fried on a hot plate, with a sour and spicy flavor.

2. Adobo: A Filipino home-cooked dish made with meat or fish simmered in vinegar, soy sauce, and garlic.

3. Fried Rice: A popular breakfast dish made with leftover rice stir-fried with eggs and other ingredients.

4. Seafood: Delicious seafood in abundance! Fresh seafood is often enjoyed grilled or in soups.

5. Tropical Fruits: A wide variety of sweet and juicy tropical fruits, including mango, papaya, and coconut, are available.

6. Puto (Steamed Bread): A sweet steamed bread made from rice flour seasoned with coconut, milk, and ginger, wrapped in banana leaves, making it a popular snack.
