Yea like me I didn't know there is like this in my country.. We need to support them so we can have cheap chocolate, and if we support the farmers we will have cheap rice farmers and other farmers etc.
Don't you worry guys,for sure,slowly mai-introduce ito nationwide...kaya sa ating mga alam na,just sharing to others will help...if ever na may makita ako somewhere,I will definitely buy it,for tasting then will promote to others too😊
@@Fruitarian. it's true! I'm in NYC and there's chocolate at whole foods from the Philippines. It's $8 for 1 freakin bar when others are cheaper, help farmers in south america and sustainable.
How can we do that when there's no filipino chocolates stacked whenever we visit markets. It almost feel like it's only for export purposes :( they should stack that in our markets here than those toblerons, meiji and other foreign chocolate products because that's what I'm seeing until now :/
Just in time for Philippines to get into the cacao market since there is a shortage of cacao beans worldwide. It's fortunate that the world likes our cacao beans.
Actually the right term is cacao beans. Cocoa refers to the powdered form of the cacao beans which has been processed in a high temperature and may contain sugar.
@Archnid 001 most people in Luzon specifically people in Manila are really ignorant about Mindanao, they are full of stereotypes. punta muna kayo d'to para mapatunayan n'yo yang sinasabi n'yo. ayos? :-)
You should check out Auro Chocolate. They work directly with the farmers to ensure mutual benefit. Their farmer Mang Jose won top 20 in Paris last year and they even flew him there!
Yes wala talaga akong nakitang mga chocolate na andito. Mas madami pa imported na chocolate. Sana mag supply sila sa local market para ma appreciate natin ang sariling atin.
Its available in the local market but only in davao where some chocolatiers are located while theo&filo can be bought through human nature. The availability of these chocolates to the wider Philippine local market is affected by the fact that most retailers prefer ordering chocolates abroad as most filipinos only knows imported brands. Also i think that it would take some time for filipinos to appreciate its taste because we are used to the taste of foreign brands especially the dark chocolates. Kasi if you are really an avid chocolate eater you can really appreciate the aroma and taste of these local brands. Basta masarap talaga xa.
Makes me happy being a Davaoeño, sure we may not have all the infrastructure that Luzon has, but we have all the fruits and vegetables here that are very affordable, food is abundant and cheap and people get along. We can buy these products at the local market and I can tell you its a whole so much better than those branded chocolates, the aroma is very earthy that I cannot explain. Also please stop stereotyping that Mindanao is full of war and terrorists, I experienced more crime when I was in Quezon, stayed there for 2 years and my dorm got robbed twice which made me go back to my hometown
The only Philippine chocolate I'm tasting is Goya! And the best chocolate is being sent overseas? WTF? I don't see this in local stores. We want to buy it and eat it too! Sell it here.

@@gonicholaigo1 that is such a great news.. equal recognition is what the farmers deserve after all they are the back bone into this industry.. thank you for sharing.. btw I live in mindanao that is why I only tried the chocolate in Davao.. I wanna ask where can I see the Auro chocolate.. thanks
@@evg2653 wishing the same thing.. even our rice farmers were exploited for such a long time.. hopefully with media we have right now.. farmers and entrepreneurs will be wiser enough coz there are more eyes to watch them 😂
It's amazing to hear that at the core of this growing industry the farmers are not left behind. With good guidance and partnership with these growing companies, our farmers will also learn more to hone their craft. I hope they get they fully get the support they need learning and resource wise. We owe it to their hard work that we get to consume and experience what we eat and indulge in.
Arsica The Sweetest yea but it would be a double edged sword... as the guy said earlier, it would destroy forests to make way for farms that would most likely ruin local wildlife
it's not underrated. Agriculture has been an important industry since the ancient times, even in other countries. It's just the government doesn't invest for the improvement of our Agricultural industry.
@@angelserenade No shit Sherlock, I know. I read Sapiens by Yuval Harari. That's why I think its underrated because its still frowned upon. Open your eyes. Lot of farmers dying in vain everyday

Farmers play a vital role in todays society all over the world and are held in high regard and they are certainly not dying in vain....wtf??? lmao
@@bongie555 Unfortunately, even Filipino farmers are pushing their children to pursue professional careers because here in the PH it is hard to make money if you work in the agricultural sector. There is such a huge lack of support from the Philippine government and the laws being passed today just reeks of being anti-poor. Filipino farmers are losing billions of pesos because of the Rice Tariffication bill. So many Filipino farmers have died defending their land and their rights. Our government seems to only serve the rich and powerful while neglecting a majority of Filipinos. It's a good thing to see more people gaining interest in supporting the agricultural sector of our country but I really hope our government grows a heart soon because the situation of most people in our country really is heartbreaking to see and hear about.
@@purplechoerries oh no... so the economy has not improved at all since Duterte got into power? is most of what we hear about him making inroads in getting the country on the correct path just superficial
Proud to be Filipino. I live in California here in the United States and I buy Theo and & Philo chocolates at Trades Joe and Whole foods Supermarkets. I am glad to come across this video and learn about the booming and growing industry of cacao farming and Chocolate making industry. We travel to Europe on a cruise ships Very year and as part of our tour we visit and stops at chocolate shops. Our group will buy lots of specialty chocolate for our pasalubong Back in the California. My husband and I and 7 other people in the cruise Choose to go to a chocolate worship in Estonia. What a wonderful experience. Cheers to our fellow Filipinos and our fellow farmers Mabuhay!!!! Ad to
I have tried Philippine Chocolate in different varieties for the past 3 years ranging from bitter to Malagos chocolates that have floral notes but subtlely sweet. It's great the Philippines are getting recognized for their chocolates. It will be great when the Philippines will market and sell their coffees.
Brings back memories of when i was a kid, my mom and lola would make homemade tablea from our cacao trees in d garden. So proud of our very own cacao farmers and their love for their products ❤️❤️
I just hope sa pagsikat at pag-angat ng kita ng mga kompanyang ito na gumagawa ng tsokolating pilipino....di naman sana mababarat ang hirap at pagod ng ating mga mahihirap na mga magsasaka at mabigyan naman ng tsansang maiangat ang kani-kanilang kabuhayan at kita....
Frankly I'm not interested in chocolate bars with emulsifiers or are too processed. I do hope they give importance to producing good old fashioned barely processed chocolate tablea because imo, it captures the true essence of chocolate..
W oW first time to know we have a good chocolate 🍫 product ,good job well done 👍.i want to try, I loved bitter 70%. God bless and peace grace Philippines 🇵🇭 Mabuhay.
Bravo to the chocolate makers of the Philippines. I have yet to try the others but I always get a taste of Auro on all my flights adds a little joy to my long Philippine Airlines trips.
Wow! I think its time na tangkilikin ang sariling atin. Pricey siguro pero kung d nmn pahuhuli sa lasa ng mga imported brands . Abay support na tayo sa pinoy chocolate . Nkatulong pa sa farmers natin.
Other Philippine products that should be developed are ube, silimay,, Ylang Ylang and kalamansi. These products are typhoon resistant and have also great global demand. Coco chanel's empire rose because of Chanel number 5, made from Ylang Ylang. Those ascot and fascinator hats donned by the most fashionable women are made from Silimay, Philippine flax. We used to produce these products and sell them before in the 30's until the Europeans replanted and shifted the market to their dominions.
The last time I went home I bought some malagos chocolate as a present to some of my non Filipino colleagues and they can't believe that we have such fine chocolate.
I tasted the chocolate-covered almonds from Malagos recently and they were absolute perfection. Not too sweet with a beautiful bitterness from their cocoa-powder dustings. I almost consumed the whole tin in one sitting. Would definitely choose it over the super sweet chocolates from abroad. I’ve seen Theo and Filo around so I might give it a try soon.
Filipino chocolates are so delicious! So underrated. But if we really want the "FILIPINO BRANDS" more established and well-known onto the international environment, it needs to be more supported by our very own government. Just like in other countries!
Just visited the Philippines for the first time last week, so happy I bring home some Theo & Philo, and Risa chocolates. The flavors reminded me of my travels in the Philippines, and wanted to support the industry :)
Our research in 11th grade was about the Philippines Cacao Industry and we interviewed cacao farmers from our province. It was such an inspiring study and we visited a lot of farms. I hope this industry grows. I really want to study agriculture but circumstances had lead me to another course but I still want to shift to agricultural and biosystems engineering i hope i could transfer next school year.
Philippines should expand farming cacao because the weather is very compatible to grow cacao trees. I once went to Samar and I've seen people eating a trufle like chocolate and cacao drinks and I was shocked how good it is. It's very high quality and the people just consume it in an ordinary day, I was so envious we don't have that in Manila
Filipinos Chocolate is taking over the world...Swiss and Belgium chocolate..watch out... This will definitely makes The Philippines gets ahead of Singapore and Japan in no time! ☝🏼👏👏👏👏👍🏼
I hope the government will continuously and increase support for these products, farms and the farmers. Our country has one of the highest potential and we should take advantage to produce this high value crops. I have tasted some of the Philippine brands mentioned and they taste so good!
In our land in mindanao or evrrywhere there is a cacao between the cofe beans plants. We just throwing the seed after we eat but some we bring it bck to our house and make it powder to be use as a coffee drink sometimes .. But now i dont know if there is a cacao in our place
Wow. For the entire video, I got goosebumps; from the beginning to the end! I'm truly inspired with these young business owners. Gusto ko silang tularan! Pero pano? How to start? When?
Wooow I'm so inspired the way how you all work it hard....the fruit of your labor is highly appreciated because you guys work with all your heart....GOD bless your business.
This is something I would love to get behind 100%! Great documentary CNN! Kudos to this industry that not just promotes the chocolate companies but also take care of the welfare of the farmers! 💯
As a chocolate lover. This makes me feel more than proud and contented hearing news about our own chocolate production. I hope to find it soon.🥰🥰🥰 Chocolate and mangoes together would be the greatest. Thanks for this content.
Ahh, i knew Auro would be in this. But damn, can’t find them anywhere, bc they’re located only in specific high-end shops, or in the coffee and tea leaf, which isn’t found in a number of provinces in the country, plus the café only has specific types being sold. Ugh
I remember my Lola and her workers when I was 5 yrs old. We would walk up her cacao & coffee plantation strip in a mountain in Mindanao. The crisp, foggy mornings and aroma of herbs on the way, passing a waterfall for a break then onto her plantation. We would spend the weekend there & she would show us how they're harvested, dried and brought back to town to be grounded. She would only go as far as making "sikwate" and of course her arabica coffee which I learnt to drink to the despair of my Mum. Philippines had been one of the coffee & cacao producers worldwide before until instant coffees came around. Now I'm living and working here in Europe and a lover of coffee and chocolate only brings back memories of my funny and great Lola Auring...i love and miss you 'La xxx
"Rob Crisostomo , owner: Tigre Y Oliva".? I wonder if he is a part owner of the said brand. If I am not mistaken "Tigre Y Oliva" was founded by Simone Mastrota, an Italian chocolatier who was based in California, but now living (not so sure if they still live there though) in La Union. Mastrota is married to a Filipina and they have two daughters named "Tiger Lily" and "Olivia". The chocolate brand, "Tigre Y Oliva" is named after their daughters.
It's about time...Philippine cacao are world class.I used to buy local dark chocolate tablea at Legaspi Sunday Market in Makati. It's sold by the stall of the late former Senator & Phil. UN Ambassador Leticia Shahani. It was made by their friend from Davao. It's the best dark chocolate tablea I've ever tasted. We should manufacture and commercially produce Phil. brand chocolate bars just like Hershey's. Investors needed. This sector should be given more support as this thriving industry can promote agricultural farmers and entrepreneurs.
Philippines chocolates but I couldn't find any of them in the market. Are they exclusive to luxury lifestyle filipino and for export? Why can't we taste our own local chocolate 🙁
@@jameskevinavena2569 Subsidies are a great idea but I don't think that the coconut, sugar and tobacco farmers did not develop their products even with government subsidies. The cacao farmers are better off selling their products to the small chocolate producers.
Such great news! Thanks CNN !;) I have been a follower of Malagos Chocolate 5 years ago and I could only buy them in Mindanao but to know how big they are now is just amazing. Growing up loving chocolate and knowing that this industry is getting very promising makes me happy. More power to all the Philippine Cacao growers and manufacturers.
The sad thing is most filipinos doesn't have an idea about these products.
Yea like me I didn't know there is like this in my country..
We need to support them so we can have cheap chocolate, and if we support the farmers we will have cheap rice farmers and other farmers etc.

The only Philippine chocolate I'm tasting is Goya! And the best chocolate is being sent overseas? WTF? I don't see this in local stores. We want to buy it and eat it too! Sell it here.
Just like our best mangoes, best bananas they're all exported and we Filipinos are left with leftovers.
Its not it, its so risky to put up in stores in ph where it would be way more expensive than any chocolates in ph
They are actually selling it here in the Phil. They have products being sold in SM. Malagos Chocolate is the best.
It is available here at thr stores in Mindanao. I have tasted it and it's delicious! 💖
As the video showed, you can actually buy the chocolates in SM Kultura. I also saw them being sold in Rustan’s Cubao.

Best cheese too!
Butuan,Bukidnon as well has a lot of plantations of Durian and Cacao.
@@ambiepotolin6853 i have been to Davao but i didnt know that they make cheese.
Where in Davao do they make cheese?
Our research in 11th grade was about the Philippines Cacao Industry and we interviewed cacao farmers from our province. It was such an inspiring study and we visited a lot of farms. I hope this industry grows. I really want to study agriculture but circumstances had lead me to another course but I still want to shift to agricultural and biosystems engineering i hope i could transfer next school year.
As long as the government will support our local farmers like how Korea support theirs, they will work hard to be on top.
Tried them. Love it ❤️❤️❤️
Cacao🤤 we used to have cacao in the back yard and now I'm craving 🤤
Philippines has a lot of potential more than we thought. Just handle it with care and wisely
Philippines should expand farming cacao because the weather is very compatible to grow cacao trees. I once went to Samar and I've seen people eating a trufle like chocolate and cacao drinks and I was shocked how good it is. It's very high quality and the people just consume it in an ordinary day, I was so envious we don't have that in Manila
Last Christmas, i bought my mom a chocolate fountain for her cacao chocolate specialty 😁
This is one industry that we should support. If ever i see this on our local groceries I would buy it.
The only chocolate museum in the Philippines found at Malagos farm in Davao City 😁
It is being process so clean NICE !
Filipinos Chocolate is taking over the world...Swiss and Belgium chocolate..watch out... This will definitely makes The Philippines gets ahead of Singapore and Japan in no time! ☝🏼👏👏👏👏👍🏼
These product didn't sale in the market in my region.
Same same bro
Same 😔
Same.
Same
This cuz they aren't known by Filipinos
We only know diary milk and other imported ones....
and i always thought chocolate hills were actually made of chocolate.
😂😂😂
WhatHAHAHAHAHAHA
lol
I hope the government will continuously and increase support for these products, farms and the farmers. Our country has one of the highest potential and we should take advantage to produce this high value crops. I have tasted some of the Philippine brands mentioned and they taste so good!
Ah, wow. Cool. I have never seen Cacao beans in my life. This is truly awesome! I miss my Country ❤️
I didn't know about this. This should be advertised more in the country.
In our land in mindanao or evrrywhere there is a cacao between the cofe beans plants. We just throwing the seed after we eat but some we bring it bck to our house and make it powder to be use as a coffee drink sometimes .. But now i dont know if there is a cacao in our place
yow cheng asa diay ka sa Mindanao? chocolate lover pud ba ka? 😁
Wow. For the entire video, I got goosebumps; from the beginning to the end! I'm truly inspired with these young business owners. Gusto ko silang tularan! Pero pano? How to start? When?
Wooow I'm so inspired the way how you all work it hard....the fruit of your labor is highly appreciated because you guys work with all your heart....GOD bless your business.
This is something I would love to get behind 100%! Great documentary CNN! Kudos to this industry that not just promotes the chocolate companies but also take care of the welfare of the farmers! 💯
I’ve been working in the chocolate industry in Dubai for 15 years. AURO CHOCOLATE... BEKE NEMEN 🙏
As a chocolate lover. This makes me feel more than proud and contented hearing news about our own chocolate production. I hope to find it soon.🥰🥰🥰 Chocolate and mangoes together would be the greatest. Thanks for this content.
Ahh, i knew Auro would be in this. But damn, can’t find them anywhere, bc they’re located only in specific high-end shops, or in the coffee and tea leaf, which isn’t found in a number of provinces in the country, plus the café only has specific types being sold. Ugh
Perfect for Valentine's. Go Philippines!
sana lang wag pasukan ng mga foreigner para mga tunay na PINOY ang makinabang
Tough luck with the current president na maka China. Siguradong bibilhin agad yan ng isang Chinese corporation like usual.
sallie cunan, yes should be true Pilipino product ,go go Pinoy to prgress, mga Pinoy dapat tangkilikin Mga Gawang Pinoy 😊🙏🏻🌈☘️ ! !
sana may Hersheys chocolate with a Filipino taste! 😉
nakakaproud naman, pero sino kaya yung mga nagdislike? mga Pilipino kaya sila?
GO Philippines... Show to the world your talents
I remember my Lola and her workers when I was 5 yrs old. We would walk up her cacao & coffee plantation strip in a mountain in Mindanao. The crisp, foggy mornings and aroma of herbs on the way, passing a waterfall for a break then onto her plantation. We would spend the weekend there & she would show us how they're harvested, dried and brought back to town to be grounded. She would only go as far as making "sikwate" and of course her arabica coffee which I learnt to drink to the despair of my Mum. Philippines had been one of the coffee & cacao producers worldwide before until instant coffees came around. Now I'm living and working here in Europe and a lover of coffee and chocolate only brings back memories of my funny and great Lola Auring...i love and miss you 'La xxx
We eat these cacao beans before drying on the sun taste good
I've always loved bringing Kablon chocolates from Mindanao to Visayas. It's really joyful to share a hidden gem from my hometown.
"Rob Crisostomo , owner: Tigre Y Oliva".? I wonder if he is a part owner of the said brand.
If I am not mistaken "Tigre Y Oliva" was founded by Simone Mastrota, an Italian chocolatier who was based in California, but now living (not so sure if they still live there though) in La Union. Mastrota is married to a Filipina and they have two daughters named "Tiger Lily" and "Olivia". The chocolate brand, "Tigre Y Oliva" is named after their daughters.
baka binili niya ung name ng tigre y oliva
Wow 😲😀
negosyo kz un sir cla prin my ari nyan iba lng pinadalang name pra hindi halata
Whoah!
Kasi po. Kapg foreign investor ka, ang hatian kasi is 60-40. 60% Filipino own, 40% for the foreign.
It's about time...Philippine cacao are world class.I used to buy local dark chocolate tablea at Legaspi Sunday Market in Makati. It's sold by the stall of the late former Senator & Phil. UN Ambassador Leticia Shahani. It was made by their friend from Davao. It's the best dark chocolate tablea I've ever tasted. We should manufacture and commercially produce Phil. brand chocolate bars just like Hershey's. Investors needed. This sector should be given more support as this thriving industry can promote agricultural farmers and entrepreneurs.
the legend of the Chocolate Hills derived from Bohol. cacao made tablia, we drink ot everyday as sikwate.
I'm so happy that we have local quality chocolates. I love chocolate.
I love Dark Chocolates...
Wow. Nakaka proud! 👏
Malagos ❤️
Right!
Congralations Auro Chocolate! Best chocolate in the Philippines!
God Blessed the people behind the business..foreign countries starting to buy to us our best cacao..mabuhay po..
Well said Atty. Roque! Thank you for standing firm on behalf of the Phil. Constitution and it’s existing Law
Philippines chocolates but I couldn't find any of them in the market. Are they exclusive to luxury lifestyle filipino and for export? Why can't we taste our own local chocolate 🙁
I'm from Davao so I find them easily. But they're also in Kultura. You can check they're website for a retail store near your area.
Im currently located in cebu wala din mahanap maybe i need to gala more 😂

Sawang sawa na ako sa homemade cacao chocolate sa umaga 🤭 pure choco hehehehe
This is beautifully done! I love the camera works and how each chocolatier were featured.
Irony that we produced much of these products yet very expensive when it’s out jn our market
The cost of producing quality products.
if there are government subsidies to support our local producers, price would go down fast.
@@jameskevinavena2569 Subsidies are a great idea but I don't think that the coconut, sugar and tobacco farmers did not develop their products even with government subsidies.
The cacao farmers are better off selling their products to the small chocolate producers.
This industry really need support.
Nabasa ko
" Philippine Presents : The Rise of Palpatine Chocolate"
Daming Star Wars napapanood ko kasi
wow ! didn't know na may local chocolate pala tayo . So Proud ..
Goya, please improve your prduct taste.
Ricoa also
Trueee
Ik
Hahah. They're going for the low-end market though, so that's understandable.
yeah right! Goya is not that tasty. they should enhance their recipes in making good chocolates!
Such great news! Thanks CNN !;) I have been a follower of Malagos Chocolate 5 years ago and I could only buy them in Mindanao but to know how big they are now is just amazing. Growing up loving chocolate and knowing that this industry is getting very promising makes me happy. More power to all the Philippine Cacao growers and manufacturers.
I'm a Filipino but I haven't eaten nor heard this. :(((
Same here
This is really great to watch. Very good documentary.
Childhood: climbing up cacao trees and eat it
Amazing..! God bless the Philippines 🇵🇭 God bless all the people behind this industry..
Sana magbenta kayo sa lazada at shoppee para makabili ako
You can purchase at SM Kultura stores nationwide.
You can buy auro chocolates at shopee..
