Bohol’s Buko King gets a competitor

Felipe Tacogdoy or Mang Peping, also known as the Buko King from Sevilla, Bohol got a competitor in Panama, Andres Gardin also known as Mr. T.

The Bohol Buko King has the amazing talent of taking off the husk from the shell of the coconut using his teeth in less than 10 seconds. We were amazed how strong his teeth were and jokingly asked him what kind of toothpaste he is using. He told us he keeps his teeth strong by eating hard-boiled eggs which truly is rich in calcium making bones and teeth strong.
