How to Make Piaya

I really love piaya, it is one of the sweet delicacies in my hometown, which is Bacolod City. I even tried the piaya made from Silay City, which is just 5 minutes travel from my hometown going North. They have a good piaya too. I believe that piaya is the delicacy of Ilonggo. I have probed online for the recipe of piaya and i found it in one of the blog called Philippines food recipes. Here is the ingredients, in case you want to try cooking it, if you are staying or working abroad.
