7: The Legend of the Coconut | PALENGKE PHABLESWhen life gives you ten kids, a mystery lady, and tragedy… you get a coconut tree? In this episode of Palengke Phables, we crack open the story of how the humble niyog became the Swiss army knife of tropical fruits. From sweet water to tasty meat, it turns out the coconut tree might just be the ultimate mom: nourishing, sturdy, and always there when you need her.
