In my opinion, Mama Fina in east village serves the best sisig (arguable even better than most restaurants back in the Philippines, including Manam) but I noticed service changed once they implemented the automatic gratuity - the wait staff don’t seem to care anymore now that they’re assured a certain percentage of tip. My theory is they get a lot of Filipinos from Philippines (where tipping isn’t always a must/kept to a bare minimum) who don’t tip. Good food but it’s difficult to justify spending money on that kind of experience.

Not to mention some of their dishes are reheated with a microwaved
