Coconut Tree as a Human
The Filipinos are so versatile and can do a lot of work even at one time. A father can clean his car while at the same time watering the plants. The Coconut tree on the other hand has its many uses as well. Because of that, it is called the Tree of Life.
Just like the ordinary Filipino, this tree is just simple yet can provide as one of the basic needs of the people. It protects, it feeds and it heals. When the tree reaches its 60 years, it can be a good lumber for building a shelter or a house. A mature meat of coconut fruit which is thick and is called Copra, can be processed into cosmetics, oil, soap and other beauty products. The coco water is a good cure for Urinary Tract Infection. Another wonder of this fruit is that it can be turned into a wine called “tuba” once naturally fermented. Additionally, leaves can also be made into a useful cleaning material called “walis ting-ting” or a sweeper and the shell of coconut fruit can be cooked and be made into charcoal.
Appreciate the value of the coconut tree, and in case that cutting it is for personal purposes, like for building a house and the like. Be responsible enough to plant another tree as a replacement. And also don't just put the other parts of the tree on the trash, like the husk it may still be processed into foam and it's flower May be used as a decor too. As I said earlier, it is the Tree of Life . Each part counts, each parts has a value, don't just put it in the trash. It's value is worth appreciating.
