The Humble Beginnings of DonCris Cacao
In 2021, Eliodoro Maciba planted the seeds of a dream — DonCris Cacao, a humble cacao farm in Barangay Binakalan, Gingoog City. He even named it after him and his only daughter Christina. Though Eliodoro passed away within the same year, Christina has carried on his vision. And with her father as her inspiration, Christina transformed DonCris Cacao into a sanctuary for artisanal, handcrafted chocolates.

During the intimate launch of DonCris Cacao held at Romulo Cafe, The Metro Edit sat down with Christina and felt her passion for her brand as well as her compassion for her farmers. Grateful that she was able to connect with the right people to grow DonCris Cacao, the brand’s first collaboration was with Lexus!


Christina shared all her exciting plans for DonCris, too. And as she continues to steer the course of DonCris Cacao with unwavering passion and a profound commitment to excellence, it becomes evident that her journey goes beyond the creation of exquisite chocolates. Fueled by her love for the craft and a deep sense of compassion for her community, Christina is not only transforming DonCris into a beacon of innovation but also a symbol of empowerment and sustainability. Her dedication to honoring her father’s legacy and uplifting local farmers exemplifies a business ethos that extends beyond the pursuit of success.
