Gisinggising is a Filipino word that means "wake up, wake up". The original recipe calls for more chili that keeps one awake but my version carries only a mild chili flavor preferred by my family. Other recipes use Baguio beans but my friends who have tasted the dish prefer water spinach (kangkong) stalks and sigarillas cuts.
