Photos by Angie Pastor. Chichirya are munchable Western-style processed snacks such as potato chips. They are thought of as junk food in the Philippines. The Filipino word meryenda, often translated as “snack,” refers to more wholesome between-meal snacking in the middle of the morning or the middle of the afternoon.
