labeled. The various parts of the tree have many uses. The trunk
can be chainsawed into lumber for building houses; the fronds are
used for making woven shingles for roofs; brooms are made out of
the midribs; the nectar from the flower is gathered for coconut
wine or made into vinegar; the meat, or flesh, inside the nut can be
used for making desserts and coconut milk gata which is used in

to pigs. The different stages of growth of the nut are as follows,
beginning with the youngest: bokol, sablay, beteng, bengel, lino,
lango, longayan.
