The 2010 Census stated that 3.4 million Filipino immigrants and Filipino-Americans live in the U.S. Their numbers consistently grow and Filipinos are the fourth largest immigrant group in the U.S.[1]
The purpose of this study was to describe food consumption of Filipino-American adults, to prove how they reacted to a food frequency questionnaire (FFQ) "as a function of acculturation and sex, and to suggest modifications to the FFQ to improve dietary assessment among Filipino-Americans".[2]
The most commonly eaten food items among Filipino-Americans were white rice, fish or meat, vegetables, and fruit. More than 76% of participants stated that the Fred Hutchinson Food Frequency Questionnaire lacked commonly eaten Filipino-American food.[3]

Influences in Filipino Culture
Chinese Influence
The Chinese had been trading with the Philippines since the early 9th or 10th centuries. Soon after the Chinese began to immigrate there in the 16th century. Chinese influence is best seen in pancit noodles and lumpia spring rolls. There are also many ingredients such as soy sauce, black beans, tofu, pork, etc, that are seen in Filipino cooking. [4]
Filipino food is widely shaped by individual traditions and customs. The same dish may and will differ between households. One dished prepared by your mother for example, may be completely different from your aunts. [4]

Filipino cuisine may be confusing to some people due to it being hard to determine what is actually Filipino. Confusion occurs due to the consistent growing phases of Filipino culture. Filipino culture has been constantly changing throughout history, gaining influence from various cultures and inevitably has evolved. Filipino food today has been shaped by history and society of many unique and affluent cultures. Influences from China, India, Arabia, and many other countries are seen throughout Filipino food and culture due to the agricultural trading of the times. Influences from Spain and America are seen through past colonization of the country. The rest of the world has influenced Filipinos due to global communication which is the basis of connecting societies internationally. Filipino food can be studied and given a definition through the process of indigenizing its people throughout centuries. Instead of fighting its adaptations to specific cultures, they allowed its submersion which in turn, influenced their cuisines, foods, and ingredients. [5] .
