1. "Shrimp paste": This is the most common translation. Balingkinitan is a fermented shrimp paste used as a condiment in Filipino cuisine. It is similar to other fermented seafood pastes from Southeast Asia, such as kapi (from Thailand) and bagoong (from the Philippines).
2. "Shrimp paste sauce": This translation is also common, as balingkinitan is often used as a sauce or dip for dishes like "kinilaw" (raw fish marinated in vinegar).
So, depending on the context, "balingkinitan" can be translated as either "shrimp paste" or "shrimp paste sauce".
