The Coconut Tree is called "The Tree of Life" because of the endless list of products and by- products derived from its various parts. Food, shelter, fuel - name it, the coconut has it. The coconut industry is considered a major dollar earner that provides livelihood to one-third of the country's population.

An askal is a street dog (asong kalye) in the Philippines. Filipinos first got their reputation as dog eaters of askals because of the Igorots, a brave tribal group in Benguet where ironically, dogs are still eaten in some areas today (although the dog trade is illegal in the Philippines).
