EN: apple
The OG fruit that keeps the doctor away, but in the Philippines, it's more of a special-occasion fruit you see in fruit baskets during Christmas or when visiting someone in the hospital. It's not as common as a saging or mangga, making it feel a bit more 'sosyal'.
From Spanish 'manzanas' (apples).
The 's' is part of the singular form, not a plural marker. The plural is 'mga mansanas'.
