I seem to have heard/read about marang, but I really don't know
anything about this fruit. If it's related to durian, then it could be
common in Mindanao, which has a distinct floral assemblage compared to
Luzon. (Mindanao is the southernmost and 2nd largest island, while we
are in Luzon, the northernmost and largest island and 1,000 km away.)
