This guy climbs all the coconut trees (no harness) to collect the juice from the premature fruit stalk which he then makes into a tuba (local coconut wine).
(Word mananaggot comes from the rootword 'sanggot', a curved knife used to etch a young fruit stalk. Manananggot is the tuba gatherer and maker and sanggot is the tool of the trade.)

Looks like that job could be dangerous if you aren't careful!
Spiderman doesn't have anything on this guy! ;-)
Really a nice photo. I didn't really see the guy until I looked again.
Hino ito? lil bro? LOL.
Taga-samar ako pero yana ko pala hibaru-i kun diin tikang an word nga manananggot. I thought it came from the verb "sanggot" which refers to the act of collecting the juice. It's the first time I heard of that curved knife although I already saw one many years ago. Siguro, kay diri man sanggot an tawag siton sa amon ;)
I have visited Olot beach and golf resort several times. I live in Canada and want to invest in the Philippines, what is the PCGG? do you know if they are open to the idea of creating a refurbished golf resort that preserves some of the original architecture and buildings while renewing the facilities in an eco-friendly manner?
do you know who the current resort investor is and how they can be contacted?
please, contact me if you can help.
Murag silingan namo sa una.inig kabuntag,bibit dayon sa iyang sugong.
