Strange as it may sound,

But COGON grass after burning itself quickly down to ashes, do have a mysterious characteristics in itself.

After some time, fresh new shoots will pierce the black ash ladden ground... and a new life will immerse to the light, again and again finding its way of regenerating back into life....

So, come to think of it...

The term "Ningas Cogon" may be used to give a new meaning for its methaporical interpretation...

And that is...

"Rising up from the ruins" :)
