A giant mango, that weighs more than 3-kilogram, caught the attention of President Marcos Jr. at the exhibit of researches and innovations at the recent National Science and Technology Week (NSTW). The mango, named “Mangoming,” is actually a Guinness Book of World Records holder from 2009 to March 2020 for being the Biggest Mango weighing 3.435 kg.
Owned by Maria Socorro M. Bodiongan from Iligan City, it was exhibited at the Philippine Council for Agriculture, Aquatic and Natural Resources Research and Development (PCAARRD) booth at the NSTW. According to Carolyn E. Alcasid of the Institute of Plant Breeding of the University of the Philippines Los Baños (UPLB-IPB), its name was derived by Bodiongan from two words, mango and mine.
