- The way Filipinos live has been influenced by fod. Food became the most widely used communication in transmitting our culture. It is because foods craze never dies, instead as years and generations continue to pass by food recipes, also evolved in different version from the original one. But here in Echague one of the foods that will come to your mind is diningding. A dish made of mixed vegetable like pinakbet but diningding mostly consist of soft and green leafy vegetable. It is cooked with soup commonly seasoned with fermented fish (bagoong). It is also usually mixed with grilled or fried fish. Dininding then became a trademark here in our locality.
