Thanks, Carmen!  The pancit in particular sounds appetizing.

Caldereta is a spicy, thick soup of beef, potatoes, peppers, and other things but typically those three. Some like olives (I personally don't), peas (sure!), red/green peppers (why not?), and sausage (like chorizo). Google around, as there's lots of variations, but the spices used are what makes the dish. If you're lazy, just buy a premixed spice package off the net, or a filipino or international grocer near you.

Lumpia shanghai are basically eggrolls composed mostly of meat (overpowering alone personally, but well balanced with white rice). Great to eat, a labor of love to create. Ground pork is used mixed with minced onions (for moisture) and minced carrots (for extra crunch). The positives of this labor intensive process though is that the end result freezes very well and can be on hand whenever you need a fix for them.

Giniling is another dish that's easy to make and has plenty of available recipe variations. Basically it's sauteed ground beef or pork mixed with cubed potatoes and other vegetables of similar size (like peas or diced peppers). Pretty simple on its own but I like adding tomato sauce and some paste to make it thicker and, well, red.

Adobe is also well known and is ridiculously easy to make. If you got a slow cooker you're good to go, lol. Just add chicken or pork (for some reason I've never had it with beef...) to a pot with your balance of vinegar and soy sauce. Adding the bay leafs are important and add to the aroma. Then just let it simmer all day if you got a slow cooker, or until the meat's cooked on the stove top. Be wary of using too much soy sauce. I'd go to allrecipes.com and read user reviews for ideas of what you'd like.

Hmmm, lechon is also great. But nearly every culture out there appreciates roasted pork. Lol. This post has made me hungry so I'm stopping now.

Survivor Philippines is the Philippine version of the reality television series Survivor. Veteran TV host Paolo Bediones has been chosen to host the show. At the first audition in Davao, Bediones revealed that the prize money would be the largest in the history of reality shows in the Philippines: in addition to the title of Sole Survivor, the contestant who lasts the longest will also win 3,000,000 pesos (around US$65,000). Auditions were held in six Philippine cities in May 2008. From these interviews, 18 contestants (up from the originally announced 16) were be selected to participate on the show in June 2008. The show was shot in Ko Tarutao, the same island where Survivor: Thailand took place, from July to August, 2008. Raymund Francis "Kiko" Rustia (Free Spirit) With his rugged good looks and eye-catching dreadlocks, Kiko Rustia is a total head-turner. In fact, he was featured as one of the hottest bachelors in a local women's magazine. Although he was born and raised in the city, Kiko fell in love with the island life and lived in Boracay for three years. He is a Bob Marley fan and calls himself the "Rasta Man." Kiko is described as a playful character but within him lies the toughness of a warrior.
