After boiling, raise the water and break up the codfish with a fork.

In a saucepan, heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil over medium-low heat.

Add chopped tocino to the oil and cook until it looks brownish and crispy.

Add chopped onion and sauté until translucent.

Add 1/4 teaspoon of garlic powder, 1/4 teaspoon of black pepper, 1/2 teaspoon of parsley, and 1/2 teaspoon of adobo to the mixture.

Add 2 tablespoons of green olives (optional).

Pour in the can of tomato sauce and mix well.

Add the boiled codfish to the saucepan and mix everything together.

Cover the saucepan and cook on low heat for 10 minutes.

After 10 minutes, add pepper sauce and mix again.

Leave it covered for another 10 minutes before serving.
