Filipinos are not so fond of thick, creamy soups. Instead, they love sabaw (clear broths), which they often use to wet kanin (boiled rice).
These are Filipino dishes that are known for their sabaw:
sinigang (sour stew), tinola (chicken stew)
nilaga (boiled dish), pesa (another type of stew)

"You know you're Filipino when you use a spoon and fork instead of a knife and fork."
This is because the typical Filipino meal always has rice, which is spooned into the mouth. Spoon in the right hand, fork in the left.

Filipino Dishes during Holy Week
Many Filipinos are Christians who abstain from eating meat during Lent, especially during Holy Week. They turn to fish and vegetable dishes, and the more devout Catholics go on a completely liquid diet or fast.
Jufran Banana Ketchup now Mafran?
Question from @viperfish: Jufran used to be Mafran. Why the name change?
Tweeted Responses, March 6-7, 2010
@s0niele Jufran and Mafran are actually TWO different brands. My preference is for Mafran but so hard to find as of late.
@T129CY Jufran and Mafran are actually two separate brands.
@scribblerjack @ka_fredo Name change of ketchup brand PROBABLY stemmed from dispute still being studied to this day by Filipino law students. Or that one company acquired another, including rights to the brand, and acquirer decided to go for the name change.
@manggy Mafran was made by Magdalo Francisco. Jufran was made by his brother Jun, who copied him.
@daxvelando I think those are two different ketchup brands.
@encore75 Mafran/Jufran...no name change. They're different brands.
@capntightpants I don't think that's correct. Jufran and Mafran are two different brands. There was no name change.
Banana ketchup is a popular Filipino condiment made from bananas, sugar, vinegar and spices. Its natural color is brownish, but it is colored red to resemble tomato ketchup. Banana ketchup was invented in response to a shortage of tomatoes during World War II. It is now considered a vital ingredient in Filipino spaghetti. Popular brands of banana ketchup include UFC, Jufran, Mafran and Del Monte.
