Baler
Baler (pronounce as if Spanish: Balér; with an English "B", not a Spanish V/B) is one of the perfect surf spots in the Philippines - not that I know anything about surfing. They also seem to have the biggest skate park in the Philippines. There seems to be only one restaurant that serves vegan food:The Shack (aka The Shack by Old Parola Seaside Inn; at Sabang Beach). The Shack is the restaurant accompanying the hostel in the same building and right across the street. There are several vegetarian things on the menu, also some vegetarian options outside of the menu's vegetarian section. Most vegetarian items "seem" vegan or like they could be vegan, and the owner, right when we arrived, without us saying that we are vegan or vegetarian, told us about the vegetarian options and that they can be veganized. Note that the restaurant and kitchen staff do not seem to really be aware what vegan means or they do not care at all ... or they do not care at all what customers say in general. Nevertheless, the food is quite good, quite a few vegan options, AND quite cheap - although portions are quite small (for my appetite, see photos). On Happycow, there were several other vegan-friendly places listed in Baler, but none of them seem to be in business anymore. So, here's the vegan food we found in Baler:
The Shack: Chana masala, katchumber salad, tofu masala (if I remember correctly)
... more photos to come ...
There's a Puregold supermarket (Puregold Baler) about 3 km (2 miles) from the beach - well, depends on where you are. The Puregold sells Soyfresh soya milk (I think they did not have plain, but only cappucino and chocolate) and Quaker oats ... also almond milk, but not much else.
There's a 7 Eleven near The Shack. It doesn't have much, but it does have some edibles: Vitamilk chocolate (soya milk), Vitamilk plain (slightly sweetened soya milk); Pinoy Tasty (crappy England-style white bread; the only vegan commonly available supermarket bread in the Philippines), Oatside drinks in small packs (oat milk); Dutchmill Soy Secretz in small packs (flavoured soya milk), flavoured cashew nuts, ...
We also bout some sweet snacks from some young street vendor girls at the main square, diagonally opposite the Museo de Baler (which I did not visit).
Top (wrapped in banana leaves?): suman (coconut and sugar) - no matter what the vendors say, it does not last longer than a day without refrigeration. So, eat them all at once or hand them out to others on the day you buy them. The next day, they will already be semi-fermented and taste a bit off, and you'll see strings like with natto.
Middle (the round discs): sugared and flavoured coconut (flavoured with some leaves [green] or ube [purple]) - the one that look like flat noodles; and peanuts and brown sugar - the one that looks like peanuts with sugar. (These were not very good by the way, and they get a bit soggy too.)
Top left you see a block of tofu, which we bought at the central market. It only cost 35 PHP, but it was totally rotten, the worst kind of rotten imaginable. The central market may be the only place to by tofu in Baler. There were two vendors. Better smell the tofu when or directly after buying it.
Suman
The beach in Baler always seems to be wavy - perfect for surfing and swimming but not snorkeling. You can ask a tricycle rider to take you to the "rock formations" (see photo). There's a beach; left of the left rock) that I would imaging is great for snorkeling. You walk in on rocks, and then there is a sharp cliff-like drop (not sure how deep, several metres probably, not hundreds).
At the "hanging bridge". One one side (the one allegedly close to the central market) I bought some great and cheap local chopping boards.
Chopping boards made from "sopa" wood, an indigenous hardwood. They also had kitchen utensils made of "kamagong" hardwood.
If you want to take a direct bus from Manila (Cubao) to Baler, you can choose the more luxurious "Joybus" or the more standard "Genesis" long-distance bus (coach, as they say in England). On the way to Baler, we to the Joybus (~900 PHP per person), and on the way from Baler to Cobao (Manila), we took the Genesis (645 PHP per person). But companies belong together and both have different times of day when they depart. On the way towards Manila, the Genesis bus first stopped at a roadstop restaurant/shop. They had plain rice (basically always vegan in the Philippines) and mung bean (munggo) sprouts with tofu (tokwa). The vendor said there was no meat etc. in it, but there ended up being small pieces of meat in it - the dogs who roamed around happily ate it.
Not vegan in this case: mung bean sprouts and tofu (contains meat)
Then, on the same bus trip there was a second stop at another roadstop restaurant/shop. There did not seem to be anything vegan there but there was a stall at the left side of that "square" (where the restaurant was), called "Traveller's Food Hub" (open 24 hours, it says; see photo below, where the guy with the white baseball cap is walking, the photo with the tricycle in the front). They had (all vegan) cassava balls with sugar (on the skewer), vegetable lumpia (in the plastic cup, with vinegar), and turon (fried plain dough wrapped around a saba banana; in the plastic bag). Each costs 10 PHP (!).

Taclobann
Buutan: all vegan café in Tacloban, must visit in Tacloban!
"Coco Ice Cream" stall at Save More (shopping centre), Tacloban
Randomly saw this vegan coconut ice cream stall. Piolo Pascual (Philippine ultra-popular famous guy and coconut heartthrob. 
Plant-based doughnut-related sweets at Dunkin' Donuts at Save More in Tacloban. These plant-based options are rumoured to be vegan. Someone confirmed the rumour yesterday (but no official info yet). I've already seen these plant-based options adverstised at quite a few Dunkin' Donuts stores - which seem to be everywhere in the more central locations of the NCR. Many are no just called "Dunkin' ", rather than "Dunkin' Donuts".
Some vegan edibles from the breakfast buffet at meat-centric Hotel Alejandro, Tacloban
Metro Manila (NCR)
Blissful Belly
Apparently all vegan restaurant near Ateneo and Miriam universities (and Ateneo Art Gallery). The restaurant is on the first floor (one up from the ground floor, i.e., second floor in Amerikkan or Filipino), above the Blissful Belly sign. The entrance is on the left side of the building, where you can see the security guard standing - he might actually show you the stairs if you just stand there confused like me. If not, just walk a few metres and there are stairs on your right. Very friendly and chatty staff. Food in the photos: Vegan "salmon", mango shake, guyabana shake, kare kare (with peanut sauce - I always eat kare kare), red rice, banana blossom patties, some soup.
Cosmic
100% vegan restaurant in Makati.
Philippine favourite: fried "chicken"
Ensalada (with smokey aubergine and plenty of raw onions)
Pancit (Philippine noodles)
I would recommend ordering the kare-kare.
Daily Veggie (Santo Domingo Ave, Quezon City)
Ovo-lacto vegetarian restaurant with many vegan options. They have another "picture book" style menu. They also sell some dry good (e.g., soya chunks, soya mince, etc.) and frozen food. Make sure to check the ingriedients or ask as not everything is vegan - some of the grain milk powders may contain cow's milk. Some drinks contain honey. Walking distance (I would say) from Santo Domingo church.
Ever Gotesco Mall, Quezon City
Also called "Ever Gotesco Mall Commonwealth Center", Commonwealth Avenue (north of Quezon Memorial Circle)Fake Vans from a stall downstairs at the mall; price: 500 PHP (real Filipino price is probably 300 PHP). No leather, of course: upper barely resembling suede. (I saw Vans "Authentic", with an all-canvas upper, for about 5,500 PHP at the Vans store at SM City North mall.)
Intramuros
Horses are still being used in Intramuros to cruise tourists around the old city in extremely polluted air and tropical heat.
NAIA = Manila airport (MNL)
Ninoy Aquino International Airport, Terminal 3. Caffé-Té-Ree-Ya. They have several vegan savoury (fake meat) options by (all vegan company) Greenery Kitchen. Great for when you arrive at the airport "starving".
Next to Café-Té-Ree-Ya (to its right) is a Dunkin' Donuts, which also had the three newly launched plant-based options. These plant-based options are probably vegan - see above.
National Museum of Fine Arts
Paco Park, City of Manila
A small green space/park. It was full of high school students when I was there. The park also has free toilets. "Beware of falling bridges".
Pan de Manila
"Pan de Manila" is a bakery chain in Manila/NCR. They have several vegan (labelled "vegan") breads, soya milk, soya ice cream, and decent peanut butter (something that supermarkets generally do not have in the Philippines), including peanut butter without added sugar. I've never seen one without added salt though, but at least no hydrogenated fats, etc.
Pan de Manila- Commonwealth Ave, Quezon City: 44 Commonwealth Ave
Pan de Manila - Kalayaan: 65 Kalayaan Ave, Diliman, Quezon City, 1100 Metro Manila ... There's also another Pan de Manila nearby, closer to Quezon Memorial Circle, but it's on a side street off of Kalayaan Avenue (Unit 69, Margarita Bldg, 28 Matalino St, Central, Quezon City, 1100 Metro Manila).
Pan de Manila - Kalayaan Ave:
Quezon Memorial Circle (public park)
One of the few green and (more or less) quiet spaces in Manila/NCR. In the centre, you can find the Quezon Memorial Shrine monument (the tall pillars), which houses the Manuel Quezon Museum (Museo ni Manuel Quezon). Entry is free. Apparently, Quezon had hats made of pumpkin:
Sandigan market (Commonwealth Ave, Quezon City)
November is not durian season anymore, but by a stroke of luck and friendly market vendors, a delectable durian still materialized. Price: about 600 pesos (about 10 Euros).
I also saw durians today (22 November 2024) at the street market behind Binondo Church.
Shaka, BGC (Burgos Circle, Forbes Town Center, Taguig, Metro Manila)
100% vegan. In my ignorant foreigner opinion, the best vegan restaurant in Metro Manila (or the best I know).
Shopwise - Commonwealth supermarket
Vegan protein powder at "Herbs of the Earth" (in the Shopwise building, opposite the cash register/till)
Seitan powder: "Red Mill" vital wheat gluten. Note: you can get seitan for a lower price at The Vegan Grocer: 280 PHP for 1 kg. The lowest price I've seen was about 270 PHP per 1 kg on Shopee.
The Red Mill gluten powder even has a vegan recipe for seitan on the back of the packaging. 
"Oatside" oat milk
Tahini (quite pricey)
"Unmeat" products
Chia seeds, quinoa, etc. (quite pricey)
One freezer full of meat alternatives
"Nuttelex" vegan margarines from Australia
"Super Scoop" vegan ice cream
"Magnum" vegan ice cream - note: only the one labelled "vegan" is vegan, of course; also note that "Magnum" belongs to Unilever, who conduct invasive animal experiments.
Durians
Dried fruit are not very cheap in the Philippines and often imported. These seem to be local (Mindanao) raisins (?) ... or they might be from California.
Shopwise did not have any wholemeal (wholegrain) flour, but at least they had unbleached white flour.
SM City Manila mall
There is a vegetarian (all vegan?) Chinese style buffet at SM City Manila. It's called Bodhi Vegetarian, and it's in the food court (lower ground, i.e., one level down from the ground floor). There's also a supermarket next to the food court (inside the mall), which I did not check out. I was told that all the food is vegan, no dairy, no eggs, "all vegetables", and I did not see anything that looked non-vegan. They asked if coconut milk is OK (as I asked about milk and dairy products). I said yes, but did not see anything that looked like it had coconut milk. I had sime seitan-like mock meat, tofu, and rice, and a free ice tea. That meal, rice plus two "viands" of choice, are 139 PHP (about 2.20 Euros). It's great to have vegan food available in this location, near the national museums, Rizal Park, and Intramuros. SM City Manila is right next to the Bonifacio and the Katipunan Revolution Monument (with the big KKK letters).

Australian soya milk in the supermarket at SM San Mateo
Beware: NOT VEGAN, not all tableya is vegan, apparently - check the ingredients. The supermarket at SM San Mateo only had these two non-vegan brands.
Soy & Bean
A vegetarian soya foods chain store in Manila (NCR). I have seen these stores mostly in Quezon City, but this one is in the City of Manila (see photo above; it's on San Gregorio Street; technically, the address is 1374 Paz St, Paco, Manila, Metro Manila). There is also an Indian store/supermarket (called "Anmol") about 100 metres to the left of of this Soy & Bean - but I didn't check it out. There is also a small park (Paco Park) nearby, a rarity in Manila. It's about 800 metres away, on General Luna Street.
Vegan Options (Cubao, Quezon City)
Great little Hare Krishna restaurant and food shop, all vegan. Seitan tocino, soya (I think) "a la cubana", banana blossom fritters, rice, soup.
Vegfest Pilipinas 2024
The Spine, Blue Bay Walk, Pasay City, Metro Manila
16-17 November 2024, 9 am to 10 pm
One of the OG vegans in the Philippines, Nanay Nona, giving a talk. She's been vegan since 1991, originally motivated (as far as I understood) by health reasons to stop consuming dairy and eggs. She said the term "vegan" only started being used in the Philippines from aroun 2011.

N4S is a Hare Krishna community and band (?). They started their set with chanting the "maha mantra", Srila Prabhupada's name, etc. From my understanding, this Hare Krishna community is promoting vegan eating, rather than the traditional lacto-vegetarian practices associated with the "Krishna" movement. They also seem to have regular vegan (!) Vegfests with free food at the "Krishna Balaram Ashram - Manila East".
