Top right are guavas. However, the lower left appears to be Jujubes (ZIZYPHUS JUJUBA) - called Mansanitas (little apples) in the Philippines. Duhat (Syzygium cummini) is much smaller fruit that is about the size of medium-sized grapes, same color as black grapes, and are clustered like grapes, though the tree is a very large tree.

The fruit on the lower right is hard to tell because I can't see what it looks on the inside. It is even larger than a Duhat. It could be the Palawan Cherry (Prunus Javanicum):


But if it has a single large husky seed, it could be the Hog Plum (Spondias Mombin). Or, it may be member of one of the Eugenia sp. from South America.

A picture of the fruit split in half would help.
