In the Philippines, a popular variant is the [[Filipino spaghetti]], which is distinctively sweet with the tomato sauce sweetened with [[banana ketchup]] or sugar. It typically uses a large amount of ''[[Picadillo|giniling]]'' ([[ground meat]]), sliced [[Hot dog|hot dogs]], and cheese. The dish dates back to the period between the 1940s to the 1960s.
