5: The Legend of the Mango | PALENGKE PHABLES

She’s a sweetie with a heart of gold, the national fruit of the Philippines, and probably every country in South and Southeast Asia will claim they have the best one. That’s right folks, this episode, we talk about the legend of the Mango. Follow us through all-too-relatable tales of family inheritance battles, a daughter’s broken heart, and young love that transcends species. And while we’re there, learn about a mango that’s literally worth its weight in gold, as well as a group of mango-worshippers that probably took it a bit too far.
