There's nothing wrong with Filipino food. What is wrong is whoever cooks it. And alot of Filipinos simply suck at cooking, showing now sign of patience or moderating on adding seasonings, and rarely do they soak out the excessive fats. Now, that's not all of them. I've had pretty amazing food at alot of carinderias. But it's in these kind of establishments that most of the bad food experience come from. Most of the carinderia owners simply run the carenderia just to earn money. They don't bother about making the best food. And this is reinforced by the mentality that most Filipinos eat at carenderias just to have something to fill their stomach with for a low price, not to have a good tasty meal.
Another problem is that most of their most skilled chefs work in high paid restaurants either at home or abroad that don't serve anything from Philippines in general.
If you want good food experience from Philippines, I suggest you eat in a well-regarded restaurant in a mall, not on the street.

That's strange, never heard of it. Most of the time they either make their own gravy, use banana ketchup(their version of sriracha), Sarsa, spicy vinegar or the common Asian sweet-hot sauce

It's like eating chicken soup with egg, and has some slight crunch. I swear it's not bad at all, it's actually pretty delicious
