Heard that bananas in the Philippines are much more flavorful than what we get in the US

This is true for most tropical fruit. If you get it locally it's usually better than it would be if picked early, thrown in a box, and sent halfway around the world and thrown on store shelves.

It's true for most fruit of any kind. The tomatoes you get in store are nowhere near as flavorful as the ones you could grow in your backyard if (A) you had a backyard, and (B) you were willing to put in the effort.

Thankfully with tomatoes they are so easy to grow there really is no effort

We're only allowed to like one kind of banana here.

There’s apparently only one variety grown on most of the plantations, causing a lot of concern when a new banana disease occurs
