Wiki Loves Food
in the Philippines
November 15th to
December 31st, 2023

Wiki Loves Food in the Philippines is a photography competition on Wikimedia Commons which aims to promote the Filipino cuisine, and the rich cooking traditions and practices in the Philippines. Organized by the Philippine Wikimedia Community, it is inspired by the Wikimedia India's Wiki Loves Food. The Philippine edition aims to celebrate the diversity of Philippine cuisine in different parts of the archipelago. The Indian edition aimed to improve the quality of pictures of different cuisines of the Indian sub-continental region.

The style of food making and preparation, and the dishes associated with them, have evolved over many centuries from a largely indigenous (largely Austronesian) base shared with maritime Southeast Asia with varied influences from Chinese, Spanish and American cuisines, in line with the major waves of influence that had enriched the cultures of the archipelago, as well as others adapted to indigenous ingredients and the local palate.

Filipino cuisine centres around the combination of sweet, sour, and salty, although in Bicol, the Cordilleras and among Muslim Filipinos, spicy is a base of cooking flavor. Counterpoint is a feature in Filipino cuisine which normally comes in a pairing of something sweet with something salty.
