'This is for you': Filipino woman climbs massive coconut tree to prove to her Canadian friends that she can
- 4 years ago
Amazing footage, from September 26, documents a Canada-based Filipino woman, dubbed "Fearless Woman" by her co-workers, climb to the top of a massive coconut tree while visiting her home in the Philippines on vacation.
She told Newsflare: "I climbed the coconut tree because I wanted to get coconut milk for the desserts that I was going to cook. I also wanted to take the video to show my Canadian and Filipino friends in Canada that I can really climb coconut trees.
"Since I was young I really liked to climb trees, not only coconut trees, and my parents were scared that I might fall... lol.
"Climbing coconut trees is common for men but not for an ordinary girl like me. My parents have called me 'monkey' since when I was a young girl and the people around me said they cannot do what I did."
