Food in the Philippines

I'll start by saying that I've been before. I spent maybe 10 days there. But I was bouncing around place to place amd being a tourist and honest don't remember anything at all about the food. I see people on here talk about how bad the food is all the time. My question is whether this just applies to local food, or all food.

If just local food then I'm not concerned since I don't really eat local food anywhere, with the exception of a few countries that really are known for great local food.
