Yeah, Filipino food sucks. It's weird, because I like literally all other Southeast Asian food. But it's the Philippines took all the worst aspects of Spanish food (as opposed to Latin America, which mostly took the best aspects) and then threw out any understanding of how to use spices other than garlic and black pepper. Lots of salt and vinegar too.
I've heard that the regional cuisine from some of the southern islands (Mindanao, etc) is more akin to the rest of Southeast Asia, and less bland/continental.
