The Legend of Chocolate Hills

Two giants from the north and south of Bohol, Philippines argued over the land and engaged in an intense battle throwing balls of mud at each other. Neither gave up until both exhausted themselves and died, leaving behind hills of mud from their fight. Over time, the hills took on the appearance of chocolate candies from above during summer, leading to their name as the Chocolate Hills of Bohol.

THE LEGEND OF CHOCOLATE HILLS

-ANG ALAMAT NG MGA BUNDOK NG TSOKOLATE -


(Tagbilaran Bohol – Visayas)

It is said that in the early times, the island of Bohol in the Visayas is a vast mass of dry land.
Rice fields tend to crack under the heat of the sun. During the rainy season, the dusty land turns
into a stream of mud. It is only during the rice season that the fields turn into a refreshing sea
of green.

It was one day during the rainy season that two giants came into the land of Bohol. One of them
was from the north and the other was from the south. Not for long, the two giants met eye to
eye. The tension between the two rivals filled the air.

"Hey! You ugly giant! Stay away from my land!," said the South Giant. "Leave and look for
your own land to conquer!"

"You must be mistaken! I am here first!," answered the North Giant. "If you want, you leave!"

"This cannot be happening!" shouted the South Giant with a stomp. The whole ground shook.
Since it has just rained, the ground was muddy. The giant scooped mud from the ground and
threw it on the other giant. The North Giant also scooped and formed his own balls of mud and
threw it back on his opponent.
The battle of the two giants became intense. Balls of mud were thrown back and forth. The
townspeople gathered to watch the two opposing giants. Each one used all of his might to best
the other. No one gave up until both of them ran out of energy. Because of the exhausting duel,
both of the two giants fell on the ground and died. What was left of their heated fight were hills
of mud from the thrown mud balls. Since then, the townspeople lived peacefully on their land
along the hills.
During the summer seasons, these hills seem like chocolate candies, especially from top view.
This is the reason why it became known as chocolate hills. During the rainy seasons, however,
these hills become covered with lush green vegetation.
