Erwan Heussaff explores the best food in Davao City in this episode of Forager. Located in the southern region of the Philippines, Davao is a vibrant culinary destination rich with cultural heritage and local flavors. From exotic Filipino dishes like Balbacua (gelatinous beef stew) and Bagaybay (tuna sperm sac) to world-class artisan products, this episode uncovers what makes Mindanao’s food scene truly special.
Erwan visits the iconic Malagos Farm, home to internationally awarded Malagos Cheese and Malagos Chocolate—a shining example of sustainable agriculture, farm-to-bar innovation, and agritourism in the Philippines. We also explore Hectares of Hope, a farm focused on fighting poverty through community-based farming, heirloom crops, and a holistic model of rural development.
The Ford Ranger Raptor is the ultimate adventure truck. It’s purpose-built for high-performance off-roading, With its long-travel suspension, FOX Racing Shox, and aggressive all-terrain tires, it handles desert dunes, rocky trails, and muddy backroads with confidence. This was the perfect car for this road trip.
Episode 1 takes us around Davao and in the next two episodes we make our way to Lake Sebu and Gen San.
