Bathala

A Philippine myth, Bathala was one of three mighty gods who lived in the universe, until one day Bathala met one of the other gods, Ulilang Kaluluwa. Feeling rivalled, Ulilang Kaluluwa fought Bathala but lost. Bathala burned his corpse. A few years later, Bathala met the third god, Galang Kaluluwa. They became good friends and when Galang Kaluluwa became ill and died, Bathala buried him atop where he had burned Ulilang Kaluluwa's corpse, and this sprouted a coconut tree, which he used it's parts to create life to populate the Earth.
