food is an equal-opportunity commodity. in the philippines, everyone eats adobo, regardless of social class. also, in a big gathering, everyone gets to partake of the same food. filipinos love to eat and it is in eating that we socialize and make friends and enjoy life. sharing our food is very much a part of our culture. should you visit us at a time when we are having our meal, you are always welcome to join us in the table. that's just the way we are.

Food creates bonding opportunities. Families make effort to eat together. Even children who have married usually spend Sunday lunches with the parents, with their kids in tow. These lunches from the nucleus of bigger family reunions.
In the social circles, friends "do lunch" to get updated on each other. In fact, there is a group of Forbes Park matrons called "Ladies Who Lunch".
In the business setting, PR efforts are mostly done via lunch or dinner-drinks meetings.
Not to forget what was mentioned by the previous answerer, fiestas are big socio-cultural events in all towns and cities, with food as the piece de resistance.
Food definitely is a major barometer of how the Philippine society is evolving. I
