MIRACLE FRUIT IN DAVAO CITY

For sometime now the older and the younger folks in our compound has been in discussion about this tree that my aunt-in-law planted in our side yard. When it was still an undersize tree nobody cares, but when its branches started to spread out of the fence and started to bear fruit, we were all dazed to see its unusual fruit, unusual because you cannot just see it in the normal fruit stand. My aunt said, it’s a miracle fruit, but when I google it all information points to a red berry for a miracle fruit.

Before this tree was planted, I can remember my mother-in-law brought one mature fruit, the shell was so hard, they even use a saw to cut it half, the fruit meat was white, but when it was boiled it really has a damn knocking foul aroma, everybody went out of the house, I spent two canister of Evian to drive the odor away.

According to those who have tried it, it cures a lot of body ailments. But God knows, if I’m on the verge of death then I will try it, promise, the white meat has turned into a purplish sticky, foul sauce. Then ‘the berks’ of my mom-in-law around our dining table without some second thoughts gulp down that purple concoction, according to them it taste bitter sweet, yeah! my tongue can see, my nose can taste it so… There are at least 5 mature fruits on that tree, I wonder how many Evians will I consume again to drive the odor away in the future as it will happen again, really I’m positive!

Take a look at these pictures… Does anyone know what really this fruit’s name is?
’Ang Punu-an’ (The Tree)

’Ang Mga Bunga’ (The fruits)

’Ug usa pa ka bunga’ (Close-up Shot of the fruit)

Thanks for dropping by, see you again for another experience in this side of town.

  9. Because a lot of people don't belive in tablets, they want fresh fruit, but fruit only lasts for 3 months and tabs last a year. One tablet is like three beries. It's produced in Taiwan using pure freeze-dried Miracle berry with high concentrations of the active ingredient, Miraculin.

  37. Hi, I am from Cebu, I visited my brother in 1st Oct. St.(right)Don Jullian Village Maa, Davao just last Sunday, Sept.18,2011. He has been drinking the juice which he got from Maasim, Sarangani. He gave me a glass of it then I drank it. It tastes sweet and smells like Castoria. I like the taste so I drank another glass. Minutes later I felt in my right arm and right leg the feeling I usually feel when my bp goes down. This made me think the juice is good for lowering one's bp. My brother then took me to his neighbor who has this tree and we bought 5 pcs of its fruit.We boiled its meat to make the juice. Pero taas man akong bp pagkabuntag. About my brother, nigamay siya. Nagweight loss ba. He said he'll have his sugar checked.

  71. GOD is good!! This is certainly a shocking and a genuine Testimony..I visited a forum here on the internet on the 20TH OF JUNE 2018, And i saw a marvelous testimony of this powerful and great Man of GOD call prophet Johnbull on the forum.. How he restore a women without womb and she became pregnant. I never believed it, because i never heard nor learnt anything about such miracle before. Not a soul would have been able to influence me about believing in internet prayers or miracles, not until prophet Johnbull did it for me and restored my marriage of 8 years back to me and brought my spouse back to me in the same 24 hours just as i read on the internet. I was truly astonished and shocked when my husband knelt down begging for forgiveness and for me to accept him back.. I am really short of expressions, and I don’t know how much to convey my appreciation to you a true prophet of GOD, if any one reading this testimony see, run to GOD with all your problems only GOD can help and give you a perfect solution to all your problems, if you are looking for husband or wife, or you cannot get pregnant, an you need your own children, or looking for jobs believe in GOD and run to him. Only GOD can help you as he did restore back my marriage, God use great prophet johnbull to change my life he can do same for you can contact the man of GOD via his private email: pastorjohnbullotunbade@gmail.com
