- A 51-year-old man died after falling from a coconut tree on a Tuesday noon in Honradez Street, Sampaloc, Manila

- Emergency rescuers came to his aid and tried to revive him but he died after bumping his head on the concrete floor

- In an interview by Jhomer Apresto of GMA 7's 'Unang Balita,' Barangay 437 Kagawad Catherine Asenci said someone asked the man to remove the dried leaves from the coconut tree

- The barangay kagawad also said that a van was usually parked at part of the road but not a resident of theirs but from the neighboring barangay instead

The van owner reportedly asked the man to remove dried leaves from the coconut tree so that they wouldn't fall on the vehicle.

CCTV showed the van parking away beneath the coconut tree while the 51-year-old man (wearing green) was preparing himself before climbing the tree.

Just moments later, the man fell and bumped his head on the ground.

The man and his wife were supposed to have lunch together when the incident happened.

According to the man's wife, she didn't expect her husband to climb the coconut tree because the nature of his work was house construction.

The wife added her husband was the fifth person asked to climb the tree because the first four declined.

He reportedly did it as an extra source of cash because their house rent was almost due.

The owner of the van and coconut tree took responsibility for the expenses for the man's memorial services, including burial.

Meanwhile, the man's family wouldn't want to blame anybody since what happened was an accident.

If you park in a "No Parking" area in the Philippines, you may have to pay a fine of ₱200 to ₱1,000. If you leave your car unattended, it could be towed, and you would need to pay extra fees to get it back. Different cities may have their own rules, so it's best to follow parking signs to avoid penalties.
