Do they eat bugs in the Philippines?

Yes, some insects are consumed as food in the Philippines. Insects consumed in the Philippines include crickets, grasshoppers, locusts, beetles, and ants. These insects are often caught in the wild or farmed. They are then cooked and eaten as a snack or as part of a meal. Fried grasshoppers, locally known as "_kuliglig_," and fried ants, called "_tagane_," are popular street snacks that can be found at night markets. They are usually seasoned with salt and vinegar and can be eaten as is or with a dipping sauce. It's worth noting that while some people enjoy eating insects as a delicacy or source of protein, not all Filipinos consume them regularly or find them appealing.
