With almost 2 years under our belts exploring the islands, the cities, and the cultures of the Philippines, there was the one experience that stayed at the top of our bucket list until this year — and that’s the famous mango festival of Guimaras. And we finally ate our weight in the sweetest mangoes in the world, but with so much more to explore in that beautiful region, we took full advantage of our 4 days and 3 nights around Iloilo to devour every site and every bite we could get our hands on.
