Theo & Philo's cocoa from Malabog works with cocoa from the Barangay Malabog, a community of about 11,000 inhabitants that is part of Davao City , the largest city in the Philippines by area. Everything in Davao City is flat and very green, stretching across hilly landscapes.

Malabog is home to many small-scale cocoa farmers. The conditions for cocoa cultivation are perfect. In 2019, for example, Nong Joe won the award for the best cocoa beans in the world at the International Cocoa Awards (ICA) , out of 226 entries from 55 countries.

Philo Chua sources its cocoa from a group of farmers in cooperation with the organization Gawad Kalinga . Gawad Kalinga helps people escape poverty. (Barangay is the smallest political administrative unit in the Philippines.)
