the answer is very useful.
Debbie,

Yes OK you gave me the best answer and maybe the solution for this Cecid Fly and/or Capsid Bug damage besetting us here in Zamboanga del Sur in particular and for Western Mindanao in General.
I think this is also a nationwide pest? Thanks

    I believe you can use chemical (pesticide) control and/or IPM methods. Bagging and pruning is always an option. Since I do not live in a region where mangos grow, I am pretty much guessing that management would be much like IPM management for any friut fly on any fruit. Hope you get a better answer than this!
