Hi there! It's the same question I had in mind. Pork binagoongan is a pork dish cooked with a sautéed variety of shrimp paste, and it doesn't usually include coconut milk. On the other hand, Bicol express is a dish made with raw shrimp paste (not the sautéed ones sold in jars), cooked with coconut milk and plenty of chilies. Growing up in Bicol, I've seen variations that don't have much pork, and some even include pineapple to balance the flavors-particularly in an area called Daet, where pineapples are abundant. Overall, you can say they are similar; pork binagoongan is a pork dish with shrimp paste, while Bicol express is a shrimp paste dish with pork, coconut milk, and chilies.
