Some Filipino foods are indigenous food from land and sea, field and forest.
It is a mixture of dishes from Spain, China, Mexico and the U.S. and many
other countries of the world. From meal to meal, the food has become very
diverse. Some of the ingredients are imported, but for the most part they
are grown and prepared in the Philippines.
The
diet of the Filipino people consists of 3 meals, and 2 snacks per
day based on mostly rices, vegetables, and beans grown in their own land.
Most people of the Philippines eat a typical meal, and because most jobs
involve farming, many grow their own portions of food for certain seasons
during the year. Other foods grown and eaten in the area are mangoes,
coconuts, bananas, corn, and potatoes. There is also a large percent of
food brought in due to fishing. The waters around the islands produce anchovies,
mackerel, sardines, tuna, crabs, oysters and shrimp. A normal Filipino
dinner would consist of boiled rice with a piece of fish, vegetables on
the side and fruit as a dessert. Most people living in the Philippines
eat different versions of this meal.

is used in such products as ice-cream, dairy products, and is used for
baking and pharmaceutical uses. Examples of this would be beer and wine,
chocolate milk, sauces and dressings, processed meats, pet foods, tooth
pastes, and air fresheners. Seeing as how the Philippines supply 80% of
the world's supply of carageenan, it is a very important resource.
Producers
of food in the Philippines are involved in the Association of South East
Asian Nations (ASEAN), which allows them to share their resources amicably
and promote economic and social support from neighboring nations. Due to
the massive food industry in the Filipino nation, almost 50 percent of
their industry is swallowed by the food processing zones, which is an area
where businesses can import goods tax free. Throughout the last few years,
there has been little or no change in the Filipino food. Their classic
styles of cooking will be charted by many and experienced by many more
to come.

are many different forms of clothing in the Philippines. The clothing mostly
