It's a ficus for sure however I cannot 100% ID it as I cannot see the leaves correctly. I do doubt it is a strangler fig though as stranglers usually have a host tree they strangle and grow from the canopy down. Birds etc drop the seed in the canopy of the host tree and it grows downward to reach the soil.

Regarding the mulberry genus in the same class, I leave these two links.
