Here’s what the website describe the Chocolate Hills.
Despite the name Chocolate Hill, there is no chocolate here, teen!
Located in the province of Bohol (Philippines), Chocolate Hills is one of the most attractive and unique tourist destinations in this place. Chocolate Hill is considered as a great gift that nature has bestowed on this country with more than seven thousand islands.
Most tourists often associate these unique hills like chocolate candies when the dry season comes. Particularly for the indigenous people – who have been watching this special hill through every moment of the season, they consider Chocolate Hill like the nipples of a young woman. That is why Chocolate Hill is also known by the locals by another name: Field of Nipples.
+ Legend 1: It is about the battle between two giant gods of ancient times. They used stones and sand as weapons to defeat the enemy for many days and nights. In the end, due to exhaustion, the two gods forgot what was the cause of their conflict and since then they became friends. The ruins they left behind from the war made the legendary Chocolate Hill what it is today.
+ The second legend: More romantic, related to the love story of a very young and powerful god named Arogo. I fell in love with an ordinary girl called Aloya. After this girl died, I was so sad that I cried so much that tears fell to the earth and became the Chocolate hills today.
The origin of these Chocolate Hills seems to be forever unsolved. In keeping with the name, the hypotheses given are all legendary and a little romantic.
Anyway, this Chocolate Hill is a very famous place in the Philippines. It has become the soul of the province of Bohol which is also the reason why the image of the hill is included in the flag and seal of the province. (rvo)
