chopsticks.
Dear MC56.. I asked a Chinese friend the main reason for chopsticks.
They said that it was invented to save water from washing hands and they really cannot eat so much like eating with spoon and fork. Try eating rice with chop sticks and you will find out.
The true Filipino way of eating is with bare fingers, that is why there is something like Manila Water in restaurants which the main purpose is to wash your hands before eating.
In a chinese restaurant around the world, at least you are 99% sure they are Filipinos if they are eating chinese food with spoon and fork, not with chop sticks or fork and knife.
regards and cheers.. 
Prof.
