8 - Tree of Life.

Good day for all Filipino bloggers that will read my blog and also a pleasant day for whomever reads this blog. The title for my blog today is the tree of life and here in the Philippines, our tree of life is the "Coconut Tree".

You may be wondering why this tree is so important and why we don't recognize it as a simple tree standing anywhere. You should always look for the answer on why it is illuminated as the tree of life and you should be creative in reinforcing your hypothesis, so you would know the answer to your question. Based on my stock knowledge, the term tree of life was given to the coconut tree because the tree itself has the capability to support life in many various ways, whether its an animal or us human. For animals, the leaves of that tree are used, for example, by birds to build their nests and the height of the tree provides a security for baby birds resting in their nests high above the ground. For us humans, there are numerous ways to use the coconut tree for good, let us start with the leaves. The leaves can be used as a roof in what we call "bahay-kubo" that is made of wood and coconut leaves and the strong part of the leaf can be used as a broom. Next is the fruit, the fruit is very useful and delicious because the hard part is used as a "bunot" or a hard brush for hard surfaces, the core part is very delicious because it contains coconut food an coconut drink. The trunk can be used as a material for building structures and lastly the roots, the roots can be used as a decoration at home.

Coconut tree is really the tree of life because from top to bottom, all the parts can be used and there are endless possibilities that tree contains in terms to our survival.
