The Queen of fruits
A vendor fixes a bunch of mangosteen fruit in his makeshift stall along the national highway in Sta. Cruz, Davao del Sur. At the start of the fruiting season, mangosteen fruits are sold for P60 per kilo but during its peak, the price goes down to P30 per kilo. The mangosteen has been called the queen of fruits following the durian which is hailed as the king. (Keith Bacongco/ Manila Bulletin/ mb.com.ph)
