Tibig, scientific 𝘍𝘪𝘤𝘶𝘴 𝘯𝘰𝘵𝘢, is a tree species native to the Philippines. Its local name is derived from its strong association with water, as it is often found in areas where water is close to the surface. Forest guides also often point out its remarkable ability to produce drinkable water from freshly-cut stems.
This small tree can reach up to 5 meters in height and is easily recognizable because of its round green and yellow fruit, which grow in clusters from the main trunk and older branches. The Tibig fruit, also known as the Philippine fig, is edible and has a sweet taste when ripe.
Tibig trees can be found in low and medium altitudes all over Central Luzon, and are particularly abundant in places like the Biak-na-Bato National Park in Bulacan and in some portions of the Sierra Madre Mountain range in Aurora, Bulacan, and Nueva Ecija.
