Hi there Linda! My father was from Cuyo. And most of my Aratilis experience was from Cuyo…

hmmmm.. aratilis… is this called sara-isa in ilocano dialect? if i would still recall, my ilocano childhood friends call this one as saraisa….. I wonder if many filipino kids know the game,SHATUNG? all the filipino kids that i know nowadays are glued to playing games in computer… 🙂

I know, back in PI, when I was a kid, a sneak out in our house jaz to climb the Aratilis tree of our neighbor and the only reason why I like washing our clothes coz of the Aratilis tree nearby where the puso is.

This brought some chldhood memories at the time we were living in Cuyo Province, Palawan. When I was 6 yrs old, while my Lolo was taking a nap and before my older cousins came home from school, I climbed the Aratilis tree in front of our house. I guess I did it so I can fill my cravings, otherwise after my cousins gone through it there usually won’t have anything left. Up on the tree I had my fill on every aratilis within my reach. While I was enjoying the fruits, the branch supporting my weight gave way and I fell to the ground; needless to say I broke my wrist. I’ve gone back to the Philippines several times and I’ve never seen aratilis. I wonder if I’ll ever encounter this awesome fruit again after 64 years of absence.

i think we called this fruit “cherries” and was also my favorite when i was young because of its sweet taste, and because its for free! 🙂 we just climb up a cherries tree and pick however much we liked, or use a “sungkit” if its too high up..yah, cherries is part of my childhood =)

I loved Aratilis! And we always climb my grandma’s neighbor’s tree, when we had chance. ~ 😀

Fondest memory about it ? Our eldest playmate would hide each fruit around the garden and we are not allowed to see where she placed them. And when she says, ‘go find them’ we hurry around and search with delight 😀
