Summer treat ... it’s summer
time and the living is easy, sing the Zombies in their top-selling record of
the ’60s. True, the hot sun and the cool breeze come together to perk up your
taste buds for coolants such as the all-time favorite “buko juice”, especially
when the green, young nut is halved right after being plucked from the mother
tree. Scenes of “buko” being split for its nectar and tender white meat are
common during summer in many coconut farms around the country. Picture was
taken last summer at a farm in Pinagbirayang Munti, Paracale, Camarines Norte,
in the Philippines.
Buko tourists … a group of
vacationing Mambulaoans from Pasig City descended one blistering day on a
coconut farm in Pinagbirayang Munti, Paracale, Camarines Norte, in the
Philippines, to feast on sweet and tender “buko”. It is a pilgrimage this
family does every summer, unmindful of the 350km drive to their ancestral home
in Parang, Jose Panganiban, where the members spend a few days for a yearly sojourn
at their hometown.
The quest for delicious buko
… for this group of “bakasyonistas”, eco-tourism and buko tourism go together.
This is the “hostile” terrain they have to deal with just to reach the tree
that will drop them the much-sought sweet nectar of buko nuts. -- MWBuzzpics by
