Just before the first typhoon of the year hit us last Friday, we had the chance to pick some mangoes. We thought that the winds and rains would probably knock many of the fruits from the tree and when they hit the ground, many of them would be cracked and won't be viable by the time we got them. A neighbor generously made a picker for us from a long bamboo pole and a basket supported by steel wire at one end. The bamboo was heavy but that was also because of the length that allowed us to get to fruits that were previously out of our reach with our old picker.

I've already sent about 6kg+ of mangoes to my parents' home in Cainta. Tatay kept inquiring about the mangoes during ECQ and I didn't want to risk sending them fruits when we were still on lockdown. With the GCQ now, authorities have relaxed restrictions and so I sent the mangoes via Grab Express.
