This is a genre that needs some serious help. I have yet to find a good book on filipino cooking. This is another bad example in an impoverished genre. Other than the fairly attractive photographs this book is a tough sell.

For a certified novice in the kitchen, "The Filipino Cookbook" is great book to start with. The instructions are simple and the photos are definitely inspiring enough to start cooking and enticing enough to make you start craving.

This book didn't have any of the recipes I was anticipating, but it did have a great overview of traditional Filipino ingredients.
