  1. kandingga is mix with chopped kangkong stem and green (or red) chillis only. if you add carrots and labanos or any other veggies, it will be called bopis.

  2. i agree with the comment above. My mom did not put any veggie at all. But I think kangkong stem is a usual addition to Bicolano food, like Bicol express. Putting carrot does not make it a Bicolano dish. Labanos though helps remove the "lansa" in the ofals used in the dish.
