\"Buko<\/figure>\n\n\n\n\n\n

As a college student in Manila in the late 1980s, I stayed in a dormitory a block from my university during school days and went home to my province on weekends. After my Friday classes, I would ride a jeepney from Taft to the Philippine Rabbit station in Avenida, where I would take the bus to Tarlac.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It has been decades since I last ventured into the streets of Avenida Rizal, but I remember it to be bustling with hurried drivers and pedestrians alike. The terminal was always thick, with commuters rushing to their destination and vendors peddling fresh fruits, snacks, and beverages.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Buko salad drink was my favorite among the rows of melon juice<\/a>, sago't gulaman<\/a>, and other refreshments sold at the bus terminal, and I would always buy a large cup before I got on the bus. The ice-cold milky liquid and chunks of gelatin, sago, young coconut, and palm fruits kept me happily occupied and hydrated through my two-hour-long trip home.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
