Mangosten, Rambuttan, Marang, Longan, Durian...Anyone?

Mangosten can be grown in the norther part of the Philippines but it doesn't give much yield and it has smaller foliage than that of what are sowed in Mindanao. Rambuttan is somewhat vegetation friendly. It can at least stand the Manila Pollution. Longan can be grown in the Philippines, too but it only gives good yield when planted in Mindanao like Makilala, Kidapawan, Mlang, Kabacan both in North Cotabato in the heart of Mindanao. Durian is now introduced in Northern Luzon. One of the most sensitive jungle fruit but it grows in the southern Luzon areas already. Marang grows wherever you sow it but it depends on the characteristic of the soil. I love all these tropical fruits. I took advantage being a Filipino from Mindanao to eat til I drop the harvests that we have from the south. We grow not only these fruits but variety of expensive supermarket sold fruits. Davao Sweet Pomelo is an alter ego of the Davao Death Squad...right! DDS vs DSP. I indulge on fruit eating while having break. To enjoy the short leave of absence from congested metro I snap into a close family's depot of fruits. I eat varieties of "a taste of mindanao" from Durian, Marang, Longan, Mangosten, Rambuttan, Dragon Fruit, Pomelo, Lychees name it!!! I don't feel like eating bananas in Mindanao. So guys, be there on the next Kadayawan this coming August in Davao. Feel the spirit of Mindanao :)
