The pili is a nice tree with

Sorry if the follow up answer on the Pili-pili dilemma is late. I will try to catch up on posting some of the new blogs. With regards to Zip's assignment on how the town was named, her boss told her that Pili the town was not named after the pili tree but rather on the fact it was the chosen (Filipino word for 'chosen' is pili too). Honestly I was disappointed when I learned this as I was gunning for the tree connection.

Goyi Solis, who was one of our coordinators, was also curious about the town's name so she googled to get to the bottom of it. She said it came out that the naming of Pili town is already obscure, that the 2 theories, about the tree and the fact it was chosen, stand accepted. In any case it could not be discounted that the pili tree is associated with the existence of this loved town in Cam Sur that whether it was named after the tree or not, the ubiquitous presence of the fruit (and hopefully the tree itself) would help in promoting a cultural character for Pili.
