Modern and traditional Filipino breakfast have little distinction. Filipino breakfast just evolved in how fast foods can be cooked and eaten. There are still some Filipinos prefer the traditional breakfast. For those who prefer bread in their meal, pandesal is still number one combined with coffee or the popular kapeng barako if available. If you are Filipino, you certainly know that most people would soak in their pandesal in coffee before eating it.
Some Filipinos want to eat rice. The reason why they still choose rice is because they want to have full energy in the first half of the day. Sinangag or garlic fried rice combined with egg and different meat is popular in the almost all parts of the country. There’s what they call Tapsilog (TApa, SInangag and itLOG), Longsilog (longanisa or Filipino sausage), Tosilog (Tocino) to name a few. It is usually readily available in the near carinderia (mini-restaurant). Sometimes the establishment is called tapsihan or tapsilogan.
There are some seasonal breakfast serving. During rainy season, Tuyo (dried fish) combined with tomatoes are popular. Popularity of this kind of servings rises when the season is very cold. The reason why this is popular is not really known or certain. People just love eating it during the wet season. Among kids, champorado is popular. Champorado is a sweet chocolate rice porridge. Champorado is being served hot and it is absolutely more delicious when it is eaten hot. Because of this, champorado is alo popular during rainy season. 
Another rice porridge popular in the Philippines and its neighboring countries is Lugaw. Lugaw is a Filipino term for congee. It can be served alone or served with other side dishes such as meat, egg and diced tofu. Although it is usually served during breakfast, it is also popular during cold rainy days.
