Philippino delicacies I need to try?

[CODMAN]

Hey all, 1 week left before I leave!!! Can't wait.

I was just wondering is there are any typical Philippino delicassies I need tro try while I'm over there, other than San Miguel... And please, no suggestions of Sabangs renowned "Fresh clams"...

I love good food and find it one of the ways of "living the culture" of a country and region...

ALL suggestions and attempts at post-Hijacking are welcome!
