## How to enjoy it

This Philippine selection offers focused tropical sweetness in a small fruit. A few freshly cut cheeks are enough for a simple dessert.

Open over a bowl to catch the juice. Scoop the ripe flesh; strain blended pulp if you prefer less fibre.

## When it is ripe

Choose evenly yellow fruit with a floral scent and a little give.

Flavour notes are subjective. Ripeness, handling and growing conditions change the fruit.

**Philippine mango**

Existing catalogue label. It may be an alternate name, translation or market nickname; it is not an assertion of genetic identity.

## A country name that needs a little care

Documented name: the history of the first tree remains unresolved.

Philippine is recorded as a named mango in living collections, while genetic research also uses “Carabao (Philippine).” Those overlapping labels are part of the fruit’s travel through nurseries and research stations.

This guide retains its Philippine entry because that is the label in the catalogue, but the available evidence does not establish it as a cultivar distinct from Carabao. There is no separate founder story to invent. Asking which collection or mother tree supplied the fruit is the next step toward resolving the name.
