EN: papaya
The secret ingredient in tinola (sometimes). Also, the main ingredient in those soaps that promise to make you 'maputi'. It's that fruit you either love or think smells a little weird. A staple in any Filipino fruit salad.
From Spanish 'papaya', which originates from the Carib word 'papáia'.
The word is the same in English and Tagalog, but the pronunciation differs slightly, with the stress on the second syllable in Tagalog.
