The second fruit is common in General Santos City, sometimes they called it mangagensan. We have that kind of plant and it does not grow tall. The young fruit taste like green mango and like a sineguelas when ripe. The skin of the ripe fruit is yellow. Its seed is a little bit similar to sineguelas, only it has more protruding fibers.

I know I’m very late to post here, but I just came across this discussion when I was trying to look up the difference between Okinawa sweet potato and ube yam.
We live in Arizona on the Mexican border, and the second fruit looks exactly like what they call here “mamey” or “mamey sapote.” The inside is a salmon-pink color when ripe with soft texture. You can eat it plain or make into ice cream or smoothies. It has a big black seed which is poisonous. The skin feels like it is covered in dried mud to me.
I could be mistaken of course, because I don’t know a lot about Fil. fruits, just though I’d add my two cents.

the second fruit, is a dangerous fruit! it is also piosonous! that is a tree that bicolano in albay first district calls it LAPIT-LAPIT!
you must not eat that kind of fruit. once you pick it, a white substance if drop in your cloths will never be remove by any king of zonrox or detergent soap. animals ang birds dont ever intent to eat that fruit.
that is not KIWI FRUIT! IT IS A POISONOUS LAPIT-LAPIT TREE FRUIT. sometimes it is twin friut like a testes of men.
