Maria Cacao
Maria Cacao is the ''diwata'' (fairy) or mountain goddess associated with Mount Lantoy in Argao, Cebu, Philippines, similar to Maria Makiling of Los Baños and Maria Sinukuan of Mount Arayat.
The basic form of the legend is that whenever rains flood the river that comes from Mount Lantoy, or a bridge is broken, this is a sign that Maria Cacao and her husband ''Mangao'' have either traveled down the river in their golden ship so that they can export their crops, or traveled up the river on their way back.〔(Argao: A Portrait of a Town )〕 She is supposed to live inside a cave in the mountain and the Cacao plants outside it are supposed to be her plantation.〔Maria Cacao: Ang Diwata ng Cebu (Maria Cacao: The Fairy of Cebu)
Rene O. Villanueva 〕 While the story is obviously mythical in nature, it is cited as evidence of how long the production of ''tableya'', has been going on in the area.〔 ''Tableya'' is Cebuano for round, unsweetened chocolate tablets made from cacao beans. It is a crucial ingredient in the Filipino delicacies ''sikwate'' (hot chocolate) and champorado.〔(【引用サイトリンク】 url=http://www.cebudaily.com/how-tableya-is-made-in-argao-cebu/ )〕
