- What makes the Philippine mango one of the sweetest in the world? Chef Martin is in Guimaras in Western Visayas to taste the freshest mangoes in the country and to learn more about their origins. There is a lot of research that still needs to be done in terms of cultivating this golden produce of the Philippines and we are putting in the leg work to discover the answers to our many questions.
This is gonna get a little nerdy, so get ready to dive in as we eat and educate ourselves about the national fruit of the Philippines!

I recently had classmates who were french exchange students and it just so happened that my family received a huge haul of mangoes from my uncle’s farm. I decided to bring them some to have them experience it and when I saw them again, they told me that it was by far the best mango they have tasted.
unfortunately I did not get to taste Guimaras Mangos . Sadly Guimaras not sold on other islands where I was. You should market them in PINOY international airports davao, Cebu, Manila, etc. .
A Portuguese guy once told me way back in 2000, the sweetest mango he've ever had was from the Philippines😍Proud Pinoy here☺️🇵🇭☺️
The mangoes in Guimaras gives more "pulp" than most Philippine mangoes, as it has a thin seed. Makes it more cost-efficient for export. The soil is equally mineral-rich ( people quarry limestone in some parts of the island. The soil is reddish too, especially when it rains). There are traditional ways of harvesting and hastening guimaras mango trees to flower. Thanks for the cool stuff!
Thankyou sooooo much Feater!! Maraming2 salamat sa pagpunta at pagfeature ng aming pinagmamalaking Mangga..Proud Guimarasnon here! Ingat ang buong team and Godbless!!
I thought I liked mangos, until I went back to the PH with my dad. It was my first trip there, but his first time back after 35 years in the US. The food was amazing, all of it (except the balut, nopenopenope), but what really sticks in my memory is the mangos. I wish Philippine produce was more available in the US. I want to buy fresh dalandan and calamansi, and yes, mangga.
balut tastes like chicken broth it's good
Nakakainspire naman si Ma'am Rebecca. Her gift in growing a business didn't stop in making profits, and she saw an opportunity to help her community as well. Sana lahat ng big corporations can learn a thing or two from her. The LGU is doing their job in preserving the quality of their produce too. Ang ganda at ang galing.
Ang daming yaman ng Pilipinas! I will visit Guimaras soon!
Let us know when you do!
I grew up having the luxury of enjoying Guimaras mangoes especially during summer vacations. We used to sell them, too. Up to date, I have not tasted any mango that has surpassed the quality and sweetness of mangoes from Guimaras. Thank you, FEATR, for featuring Guimaras mangoes. I hope everyone who gets to watch this video also gets the opportunity to taste Guimaras mangoes and come visit Guimaras as well.
Lived in The Philippines for years and the mango is one of the things I miss the most :o
I know that in one memoir on Princess Diana, it is said that she used to order big baskets of Philippine mangoes.
Thank you so much for featuring Guimaras Mango,one of the best sweet mangoes in the world,
Proud Guimarasnon here..
Thank you so much to all your team
GOD BLESS!!!
Thank you too!
I absolutely agree with you, I went to Jordan, Guimaras to really check and see by myself how, where it planted …I’ve noticed that the elevation helps a lot in creating the sweetness and the quality of the mangoes.
The condition and its nearby landscape is suitable to its growth…
Lastly, the type of soil since its an island and surrounded by sea water it makes the soil porous which is more adaptable to its growth.
Love your content… Thank you.
Unforgettable Mae
Im an ilonggo and im proud of guimaras 🎉🎉
Don't forget the paho and mangga wani. While not from the same species as true mangoes, they are nonetheless also common and native. A cherished childhood memory of mine is throwing sticks up at very tall paho mango trees, boomerang style, aiming at fruit clusters. Then scrabbling to get the fruits that fall. Unlike true mangoes, they have tougher skin and ripen while still green, so they can withstand even falling from like 30 feet.
I don't eat any other mangoes if it's not from the Philippines and from Panay. I love it the sweet and sour taste not too ripe. Man I miss eat all you can during manggahan festival. 😋
We had this project in advertising arts where each student in my class had to create a vector art off color print based off different fiestas in the PH and I got this one! Really fun reaserching and editing.
Thanks FEATR Team for featuring Tul-tul & our Mangoes 😊
I remember when I was child my lola would buy tons of guimaras Mango in Iloilo , and till this day my taste memory is still there and nothing comes close to the texture and sweetness of guimaras compare to other countries .
💯
May mga ibang countries claiming sweetest. Maybe true but if you factor in the shape, color, thickness of the skin, amount of fiber & aroma. I'd think hands down our mangoes 🥭 Trump the competition.
Yes, India claims the Alphonso is the sweetest. May mga nagtatanim na din nito dito by enthusiasts.
@@lawrencebautista1 Alphonso has a very sharp aroma. It's sweet pero yung flesh nya mas identical sa pico mango. Plus, even when it's ripe it's still firm.
Wag ka magpatokis sa mga Indian and Pakistani. Kahit Alphonso di kayang tapatan ang Ataulfo ng Mexico (which is a descendant of our Carabao cultivar). What makes Guimaras mangoes the best is its exquisite fragrance, ibang iba talaga compared sa ibang cultivar. Plus it's one of the sweetest. Prolly second to Sweet Elena of Zambales.
Ang amoy ng alphonso parang carabao mango na may hint ng aroma ng apple mango.
My Columbian boss claims too that they have the sweetest manggo in the world and so with the avocado.😀
Nakatikim na ako ng palengke mango sa New Delhi at hindi sya masarap. Kahit yung sineserve sa hotel. May after taste na parang taba ng bangus. Yung Alphonso mango hindi ko natikman in person pero meron juice version na Maaza ang tawag para syang apple mango.
Philippine Mango pa din.
Nothing beats mangoes in the 🇵🇭
YAY! NEW VLOG! THANK YOU FOR THIS FEATR! ALWAYS WAITING FOR YOUR VIDEOS!!!❤🎉😮😮 THE BEST! KUDOS TO THE WHOLE TEAM!!!!
The Best and Greatest mango all over the world is Philippine Mango. I absolutely observe and taste that. I taste all Indian Mangos, Thailand Mangos, Egyptian Mangos, Mexican Mangos but Philippines Mangos are different and taste taste to others Mangos all over the world. Love here from Kuwait.

Thanks for sharing!
More than the Guimaras Mangoes feature, really appreciate how you guys were also able to include short discussions on climate change and intellectual property/geographical indications. Keep up the great work that you guys are doing!
Well-written episode!! So happy to see Guimaras being FEATRed! :)
Glad you enjoyed it!
Wow... This is wonderful! I like mango so much
I was in Guimaras just yesterday and i was going to visit the Mango farms but it would have been too muddy because it had been raining... the people there are so super friendly and helpful very warm and welcoming too!!! I'll definitely be going back there next time to check out the island properly next time ❤
Thank you FEATR for scoping our products, main stream media untapped resource and etc. These are the content that we need to talk about, focus on & ones that needs to go viral as this will potentially increase our country's GDP.
Proud one Guimarasnon here..
I'm from Guimaras and my lolo is a mango grower/farmer, kaya nakaka proud lng 😭
*You have not tasted the Zambales mangoes, have you?*
Salamat sa pag feature ng mangga sa Guimaras.
Ang galing galing mo Neng Bec. Congratulations 👏👏👏👏👏👍👍👍👍👍❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
Nothing beats the sweetness of Guimaras mangoes. I miss my hometown
*Haha, you have not tasted a Zambales mango yet.*
Living just a small ferry away from this island. I miss it so much as I am now in Canada for the past 13 years
I remembered my dad once tried to incorporate mango puree with dinuguan 🥰
The timeline of the release of this feature is not inline with the peak season for Guimaras Mango. You might be confusing people to visit the place now. I believe this was taken around Apr-May.
Guimaras Island, added to my bucket lists but only when it is mangoes 🥭 season 🥭🥭🇵🇭🍀
Californians get their mangoes from South America. I’d say the Philippine mangoes are better. Dried mangoes from Thailand sold at Trader Joe’s just taste “sugary”. The Philippines should also consider to massively make dried mangoes.
Dried Philippine Mangoes are sold at Costco
The best. Also, Im so earlyyyy HAHAHAHA
Yeah as in Legit talaga na napakasherep ng Mangga jan sa Guimaras. Like super sweet, nag-aagawan pa kami during our Area C Assembly 2014 siguro yun 😊 (Architecture Stuff) 😂
I love Mango shakes only in the PHILIPPINES!!!! LETS GO TO PHILIPPINES!!!!!🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉
Ilove Guimaras island sweetest Mango 😍🥭 ever my home province
nothing like Philippine mango periodt.❤
My father is from Guimaras.❤❤
Done subscription sir🇵🇭Watching from Al khobar KSA but i am a local from Butuan City CARAGA
Mango that’s closest to common Philippine mangoes is the Thai honey mango (I mean the common Philippine mango not Guimaras mango. The latter is incomparable.) Almost similar texture and taste. That’s the mango commonly sold in Singapore. Reason is longer shelf life and cheaper while Philippine mango shorter shelf life plus more expensive.
I buy mangoes to eat it immediately and not to store it.
I live in South Florida, and I have quite a few varieties of Mangos from different regions predominantly from India.
My most favorite is a Philippines variety *Nom Doc Mai*!
Thai mango not carabao mango
We went to Guimaras just this month of Sept, we tried their Mangoes and its like 500 pesos per kilo! And juat found out reject pala yun hahaha
Guimaras mangoes certainly are the best! 😊
I hope you can also feature coconut.
True!! I the best quality mangoes for me is the Guimaras Mangoes! Super love it
The best!
Try mangoes from Leon, Iloilo.
Compare the taste with other mangoes. Leon mangoes is the best ever👍
Oh look, an Erwan cameo. Oh wait....
Also, I think another lesser known variety would be the Pajo.
Yes. Pahutan in our province
Nakakapanghinayang talaga yung mga centennial na puno namin ng mangga dito sa Nueva Ecija noon. It would normally take more than a week just to harvest it all. Back then tiklis pa yung lalagyan, made from bamboo. We'd spend our whole vacation as kids playing and eating mango from breakfast to dinner due to the volume of the harvest back then, just like what sir said wat back 2000's. Unfortunately, naubos na yung plantation dahil sa dami ng bagyo na dumaan, and also due to the volatility of our climate rn. Hindi na siya maging sustainable source of income. These days, almost all of our mango farms are now replaced by mostly Calamansi plantations.
Philippine Carabao Mango is not just the sweetest, it has that right amount of exotic tangy sweet taste.
I miss our Phil mango…..we have an American friend who went to Palawan and told me the best mango i The world is our Phil mango…he said he really pigged eating the mangos..
Walang tatalo Guimaras mangoes!!
cute naman ni chef
Unfortunately, the carabao mango (which includes super galilia and sweet elena) is not a perfect variety, due to its number of pests and diseases. No. 1 na peste ay yung kurikong na bumubutas sa balat ng mangga. Ang dami ko nakikita mga mango farms na binebenta na dahil hindi na kumikita. Nababawasan ang mga mango farms naten, kaya expect na lalong tumaas ang presyo ng mangga sa mga susunod na taon. Masyadong manipis din ang balat ng carabao mango, kaya pag nauulanan nasisira agad at problema din ang logistics. Nahihirapan din ang mga farmers na magexport sa ibang bansa dahil heavily reliant sa pesticides and insecticides ang carabao mango, kaya ang ibang bansa katulad ng Japan at Korea concern nila ito kaya nagiimport na din sila ng mangga sa Vietnam, Cambodia, Thailand, Australia, Peru, etc. kaya kakompetensya na din sila ng mga mango farmers naten sa export markets. It's about time talaga na makadevelop na tayo ng bagong variety ng mangga na superior sa carabao mango, or improved variety mismo ng carabao mango. It might take decades and trial and error dahil selective breeding ang gagawin. I really wish na meron na gumagawa nito ngayon, kahit sa UPLB man lang. The government does not seem to see the urgency of this problem na nanganganib ang mango industry naten ngayon. Time is running out. Habang ginagawa to, pwedeng magtanim muna ng ibang varieties ang mga mango farmers naten as stopgap. Meron isang PhD si Dr. Bernie Dizon nagaadvocate na magtanim ang mga mango farmers naten ng Thai varieties like Nam Doc Mai and Chokanan dahil pest resistant ang mga to at hindi heavily reliant sa pesticides pero matatamis pa din. Plus, pag diversified ang mga varieties na tanim ng mga farmers, maeextend pa ang natural season ng mangga naten at mas kikita sila. Ang carabao mango, April-May ang peak season, pero ang Nam Doc Mai and Chokanan namumunga sa July-August kahit tagulan. Masyado tayong reliant sa iisang variety na hindi pa perpekto kaya hirap kumita ang mga mango farmers naten. Eto ang ginagawa ng ibang bansa, madami pa silang tanim na ibang varieties kaya extended ang season nila. Sa Australia, meron silang tatlong bagong varieties na wala pang pangalan, more than 20 years nila dinevelop, that are set to replace their main varieties the Kensington Pride and R2E2. Sa Taiwan, may bagong varieties na din sila na dinevelop nila; Honey Snow and Summer Snow, na potentially na papalit sa Irwin and Golden Queen mangoes nila.
Masasabi rin natin sir na hindi lng sa mangga applicable to pero sa iba na rin katulad ng bigas atbp. Ang nakakabahala nga lang eh hindi nga nadagdagan o maayos na namamanage ang budget ng Dept of Agri ng maayos o kulang pa. Tapos ang trajectory ng development natin ay hindi na naayos ang management ng DoA.
380/kg in Guimaras! whoa!!
Dito samin sa zambales.. napakatamis ng mangga.. may sampo kaming puno . Kaya sawa sawa ako pag season na
lol what a 'cameo' 3:27 😂
Zambales was rated the sweetest mango in the world.. by Guinness book of world records 1995 with sweet elena from masinloc zambales..
❤
Katchamita? That’s a nice name for a mango.
😋😋😋🥭🥭🥭
Im not sure if Ive tasted Guimaras mangoes. I have yet to try. Sa mga mangoes na natikman ko yung from Pakistan so far was the best kase yung size nya is twice the size of our average mangoes, golden yung color, super sweet and di rin fibrous masyado.
where to buy that merch?
Zambales mango are sweet too....
Personally like Leon mangoes more. As someone with a heavy sweet tooth, they are by far the sweetest.
If only the government actually does something about this for improvement and not for confidential funds 😂
I need Himsagar Representation.
graham should be serve cold.. host should have made ahead and chilled for better quality but yay for manggoes
Kalaban ng Zambales variant huhu
Wag mo ipalabas crab mentality mo
Have you tried mangoes from Leon, Iloilo?
Now currently living in a foreign country, so much disappointment when we bought mango from the store thought it would taste like the ones back home. It was ripe but no aroma has a similar taste with the artificial mango flavouring which i really dislike or maybe just not used to.
The mangoes I remember back home is sweet and very aromatic when ripe. My cousin was laughing at me smelling the mangoes at the store, told her that’s how you know the mango is ripe. Now I cannot make graham float nor mango sago desserts. Maybe we can but not tasting the same we used to have.
how to buy guimaras mango from manila?
Guimaras Mango is the sweetest mango that I have tasted.
*Hold my beer.*
-Zambales mango
@@bluebatison1112 Zambales mangoes is nothing as compared to Guimaras Mangoes, But I would compare them to Leon Mangoes..
@@viccapalihan364
*Guimaras mangoes are a bit bitter and have maggots.*
@@bluebatison1112 that's unfortunate you tasted Guimaras mangoes from a trash bin..are u homeless??
Guimaras mango is waaay ahead of zambales mango and ive tasted both
Akala ko kapag nasa Guimaras ka na, mura na ang mangga. HINDI PALA. 350 per kilo. Wow!
❤😂🎉❤😂🎉
3:30 is that Erwan? 😅😅
This is just cruel and unusual punishment because I cannot posses these delicious fruits.
Anong brand yung 80-20 tamis asim na dried mango? :)
Palauig, Zambales mangoes are the sweetest in the world
Manggoes from Zambales is not consistent in its taste. May matamis and may maasim but Guimaras manggoes is very sweet basta tama sa number of days. I have tasted manggoes from Luzon but Guimaras manggoes are far more sweeter and jelly like ang consistency.
@@emmaluzgabriel4951 Sweet Elena, a variety of carabao mango from Masinloc, Zambales is the sweetest according to Guinness and Philippine Department of Agriculture.
@@aeljerzheevalencia9341Guimaras mango na ang pinakamatamis ayon sa study, move-on na kayo.
GUIMARAS MANGOES WORLD SWEETEST
A L I B H O N
I had tasted the sweetest mango in the world is from Pakistan aside from Guimaras in the Philippines😊
Really? I thought it was Zambales mango. It is fibrous though.
Agree!!! The Honey mango from Pakistan is sooooo sweet and almost fiberless! Sindhri and Chaunsa varieties are the ones I tried so far.
@@SenyoritaJ Yes that is true👍
Wait till you try Pakistani mangoes
Dapat pumunta ang team nyo sa Guimaras May kasi manga fientival. You can eat unli manggo in a fraction of the price. At dahil smer manggo season din. 350/kilo is very expensive baka if May kato oumunta 80-100 / kilo lang yan.
Being Cebuano… my sweetest is Guadalupe mangoes..ohhhh, they say the Guimaras mangoes came from the Guadalupe mangoes
Nagjojoke kata ah.
Can we easily find Guimaras mangoes in Iloilo fruit stands??
Sadly no po. Yung ibang vendor po kine-claim na Guimaras mangoes Yun pero not all po. Better talaga if here sa Guimaras bibili.
@@lhennestante not even in iloilo airport or guimaras port?
@@Jessica-zt7ohit's best to go to Guimaras itself, it's just a 15 mins boat ride from Iloilo City if you want grafted seedlings you can go to BPI Guimaras (the one featured in the video) for free seedlings.
They don't have Guimaras mangoes in iloilo airport.
@@Jessica-zt7ohyou cannot find it easily in Iloilo although a lot of fruit vendors claim that it’s Guimaras Mango. Best option is to buy directly from someone who’s from or lives in Guimaras. You cannot bring in any mango seeds or mango saplings coming from other places outside the island, it’s prohibited in order to maintain the quality of the mangoes growing in the island and also to avoid infecting the trees and fruits from diseases which could possibly come from other mango plants and fruits which were not cultivated in the island. It’s only a few minutes ride from the city of Iloilo and definitely worth the visit. Guimaras also boasts its white sand beaches and some marine sanctuaries.
Guimaras mangoes are the best in the world
ang mangga sa taiwan ang tamis din kahit hilaw pa
4:16 Even the newspaper used to wrap the mangoes are Korean ones. What’s up with that? 😂
The sweetest mango in the world is called manga wani a native mango found here in mindanao.. small with many fibers in its flesh. Try it its 3x sweeter than any mangoes you tried.. but youll end up with dirty mouth or tshirt because you cant just stop .. have you tried it?
Sweetness of fruits are linked to lime and minerals of the soils. Guimaras is rich in limestone. The sweetest grapes are from Afganistan and Greece...... countries with a lot of lime in soils. Just an opinion.
Manjifera indica is the scientific name of mango
Some say they have the sweetest mango, but those mangoes, they can cost you an arm and a leg. Meanwhile our Philippine Mango are not just arguably sweeter, they are also far more sustainable and abundant. Even if we give their claim any credence its like theirs is 10, while ours is 9.9 is sweetness. Ours still win.
Nakakalungkot ang status ng mango sa Palawan due to the invasive Mango pulp weevil
Excuse ypu the sweetest mango in the world is from my hometown (LEON, ILOILO) guimaras ad zambalesb mango could never..
Nagalit sa waiter on cam 😂😅
Mangas from the Philippines are lami
