EN: Nauclea orientalis (a type of tree)
Ever seen those streets named 'Bangkal'? It's probably named after this tree. It's not as famous as a Narra or a Mango tree, but it's one of our own native trees. It's also the name of a famous district in Makati known for its antique and second-hand shops, where you go to 'mag-bangkal' (dig up) treasures. A bit of a wordplay there!
Refers to a specific tree species. Also a well-known place name in the Philippines (e.g., Bangkal, Makati City).
