It's called Pinikpikan na Manok in Filipino and takes its name from the Ilocano dialect.  It is a chicken in broth dish. Cooks beat the chicken to death with a stick. This is done in the belief that the bruising of the flesh brings blood to the surface, thereby improving the taste of the dish. Though it may be a clear violation of the Philippine Animal Welfare Act of1998, this dish is openly offered in many Filipino restaurants. Yummyph gives an elaborate discussion here.
