Dinuguan or pork blood stew in english, and also combined with some pork intestine or the "mask" skin from the face of the pig, together with garlic, chili (siling mahaba) and vinegar. Best match with "PUTO" or Steamed Rice Cakes. In my place (LAGUNA), when there's an occasion like birthdays, wedding, christening etc. They should have a "dinuguan on the table".
