    Today, we’re heading to a destination that’s been on our Philippines bucket list since our first visit to the country almost 2 years ago.
    First, we’re flying into Iloilo City on the island of Panay where we’re checking into a sprawling hotel suite and feasting on a dinner of upscale Filipino dishes.
    In the morning, we’re trekking to Guimaras, where we’ll get to know the island’s resources that span sea, air, and land, before ending the day with an all-you-can eat mango marathon.

    Guys you're all very lucky to participate at the Guimaras Eat-all-you-can Mangoes. Did you know that the Philippine Mango was Awarded by the Guinness Book of World Records as the Best, Delicious, and the Sweetest Mango in the World? You've already tasted it, now you be the judge.

      yes but guiness awarded it to another province in the Philippines, Zambales in Luzon and it's for their variety of carabao mangoes called Sweet Elena back in 1995 and another in 2011 but Zambales was not very aggressive marketing their mangoes unlike Guimaras

    Guimaras , formerly called Himal-os was settled by the Portuguese explorer in 1581 under the Spanish crown during the reign of Philip II. The name came from Guimarães, the birthplace of modern Portugal which I happened to visited 2 years ago. Your family is so lucky to experience the Ilonggo cuisine and its finest mango. I was born in Bacolod, a city next to Guimaras. Another food destination. The People in both Panay and Negros are culturally the same even the cooking. Also, fun fact the young 23 year old Gen MacArthur was a head engineer that constructed the road and Santo Rosario wharf in 1903. So much American history in this region , like the first american schoools in Santa Barbara , Iloilo and golf clubs. I can go on and continue but the list is so long. Please visit Bacolod and explore the colonial city of Silay and Mambukal hot springs of Murcia which was bulit by japanese folks in 1920 by Ishiwata and have a great onsen.

    I was born in Iloilo City but lived in Guimaras Island till 5, moved to Manila till 9, and then left for the US for the rest of my life. Yes, Iloilo has the sweetest mango (teardrop shape) in the entire PI or even the entire world. Other countries would call their mango as Philippines mango but does not come close to the sweetness grown in Iloilo (Guimaras).

    I miss the Panay islands, especially Antique and Iloilo where I built my Usana biz in 2012... Unfortunately, I didn't have the chance to visit Guimaras.. But one of my friends brought me some green mangoes from the island and I thought it was still not ripe. When I peeled off the skin, I was surprised because the flesh was already yellow and it was unbelievably sweet! Like my brain couldn't process what I was eating that time!

    I tried mango pizza and loved it......having the best of both worlds, being sweet and savory and a change up from your daily pizza.......and yes, I can eat pizza every day lol...

    At 20:10. That is a very nice design for th PH-US flag.
