Here's a list of popular things to buy in the Philippines:
01 Polvoron-Polvoron is a favourite childhood treat, for adult as well. It is a crunchy and crumbly fun-to-eat snack that comes in different flavours.
02 Dried Mangoes-Dried mango is another yummy pasalubong. Cebu is well-known for its delicious, tasty dried mango which is one of the favourite “pasalubong” (present) fruit snacks of the Filipinos, both here and abroad.
03 Chicharon (Pork rinds)-Chicharon is a popular deep-fried pulutan (finger food) in the Philippines because it tastes oh-so-good when paired with alcoholic drinks dipped in vinegar with garlic.
04 Ensaymada-This soft, sweet bread covered with butter and sugar then topped with lots of grated cheese and commonly served with hot chocolate is just right for merienda (light morning or afternoon snack). If you want to bring some home, buy them on your day of departure so they’ll be freshly baked.
05 San Miguel Beer-San Miguel is the best-selling and best tasting beer brand in the Philippines.
06 Souvenir shirts (Philippine Statement Shirts)-Many people are fond of souvenir t-shirts so buying this as a pasalubong to remember your trip in the Philippines could be a good idea.
07 Hopia-This is definitely one of the most requested pasalubong! Hopia is a staple Filipino bean filled pastry traditionally filled with sweet mung bean, but also comes with other fillings such as purple yam (ube), sweet potato and even pork.
08 Chocnut or Chocolate peanut bars.-Everyone loves Chocnut, especially the Filipino. It’s a small candy bar that almost all of us is familiar with.
09 Buko Pie or Coconut Pie-Buko pie is a Filipino pie made with young coconut, locally known as buko. While it is generally available anywhere in the country, buko pies in Laguna are the most in-demand.
10 Traditional accessories-The Philippines is famous for its many handcrafted goods, which can work well as presents if you want the people you’re giving pasalubong to, to add a touch of Pinoy heritage on their outfit.
