Yes, we Filipinos love our vegetables. I think it's because any type of meat can be very expensive so we use more vegetables as the main ingredients in our cooking and meat is only added to add a bit of flavour. Also most Filipino dishes have broth or soup because we eat them with rice. They are delicious but can be unhealthy if eaten with more rice since rice is rich in carbohydrates, but of course, if eaten in moderation, then it's fine. But sometimes I eat more than 1 cup of rice because of how much more-ish the dishes are.
