Manila city has a large population of locals and foreigners. The capital of the Philippines continues to grow and expand with new high rise buildings and modern streets filled with restaurants and shopping stores. The bustling city has several international restaurants including Caribbean. There are some Caribbean expats including Dominican expats residing in the Philippines so they probably dine at those restaurant-bars.

They sell Caribbean empanadas at food courts located in some malls and at food stands located in a plaza. Filipinos like to try new international food.

I actually bought three empanadas at the food stand which satisfied each meal of the day: breakfast, lunch and dinner. The cost is inexpensive compared to food at a sit-down restaurants.

Is Filipino cuisine becoming popular in New York?

Several tourist that I've seen in the Philippines have tried chicken inasal before and they seemed to like it. This is the dish that Filipinos should be known for here in America. Filipinos should primarily focus on selling chicken inasal on their menus since Americans are acquainted with BBQ grilled chicken.

Since Americans do actually like our Chicken Adobo, then they definitely would like Chicken Inasal.
In Philippines, the foreigners eat at the food court in the malls mainly and they often order Chicken Inasal. They actually like this dish even when other American foods are available however they are reluctant to try the other dishes such as Bulalo, Kaldereta, Kare Kare, Afritada, etc...

Most of us are into medical field, opening restaurants isn't our top priority. We are more focused in helping other people.

you're right, the hot dog in it's sausage form would easily be identified.
I meant to say also the hot dog as only part of the cuisine.
Filipinos do slice their hot dogs and include them on their dishes such as Filipino Menudo, Filipino Spaghetti, Afritada, Sweet Onion with hot dog and ketchup and Beef Caldereta. Although the hot dog has been sliced, they are obviously hot dogs and not another sausage or red meat even though Filipino hot dog taste somewhat different from here in America.
However Filipino Beef Morcon and Pork Embutido (meat loaf) has slice hot dog fillers in them but for some people the slice hot dog could easily be mistaken as a sausage variety or another red meat since the flavor of the hot dog has been mixed in with the meat loaf such as beef and pork.
Beef Morcon - semi-fried, simmered and boiled.
Pork Embutido - steamed or baked
