==Origin== Sinigáng means "stewed [dish]"; it is nominalized in the form of the Tagalog verb sigáng, "to stew". While present nationwide, sinigáng is seen to be culturally Tagalog in origin. Thus the similar sour stews and soups found in the Visayas and Mindanao (like linarang) and in Pampanga (bulanglang) are regarded as different dishes and differ in the ingredients used.
