MANILA: Jomar Abdon, 29, took on one of Davao City's durian processing facility's critical tasks: sorting durians. Standing in front of a pile of durians, he sorted out the high-quality spiky fruits and prepared them for packaging.

Abdon is happy that China cleared the exportation of Philippine durians to China on Wednesday, saying the move could raise the income of the local growers of the tropical fruit in Davao City, the Philippines' third largest city.
