The Philippine mango (historically and internationally renowned as the Carabao mango or Manila mango) is a famous tropical fruit cultivar native to the Philippines. Celebrated globally for its world-class eating quality, it was listed in the 1995 Guinness Book of World Records as the sweetest mango variety in the world. The tree develops a dense, vigorous, and upright canopy. It yields medium-sized, elongated, kidney-shaped fruits that transform into a uniform golden-yellow when ripe. Its rich, deep yellow flesh is fiberless, delivering a tender, melting consistency that bursts with an intensely sweet, floral, and honey-like tropical flavor.
