The Philippine siling haba.

Siling haba ("long chili"), siling mahaba, siling pangsigang ("chili for sinigang"), siling Tagalog ("Tagalog chili"), and sometimes called finger chili,[1] is one of two common kinds of native chili found in the Philippines, the other being siling labuyo. Unlike siling labuyo, it belongs to the Capsicum annuum.[2]

The siling haba fruit grows to between five and seven centimeters long, and is bright light green in color.[1] While of moderate spiciness, it is much milder and less hot than siling labuyo.[3] It is an ingredient commonly used in Philippine cuisine, spicing up dishes like sinigang, dinuguan, pinangat, kilawin, paksiw, and sisig.[1]
