Great article featuring the siling labuyo chile, which we had never heard of before now. This chile is actually from Capsicum frutescens, the same as a Rocoto chile…although the siling labuyo looks like a miniature cayenne pepper. From the Manila Bulletin Online, we found this article which you may find interesting if only for the historical perspective of chile peppers in the Phillipines.
When she was still a child, superstar Nora Aunor once said, they would prop the labuyo chili before they did the house whenever a storm was coming. Such is the reverence of Filipinos for the unassuming yet fiery siling labuyo.

I know my response to this is a little late, but where can we get seeds for the labuyo in the US? I spent four years in the Philippines, and these peppers are great!
Hopefully, my wife’s family will send some pods soon!
