It is perfect for those who want to escape from the city buzz.

The park is a 3.5 hectare property that was then part swamp, part orchard.

Ma-a Torro

The newly-opened restaurant is located in Malagos, Baguio District, Davao City (alongside the road before reaching Davao's popular tourist destinations: Malagos Garden Resort and Philippine Eagle).

At present it serves native delicacies of Bagobo K'lata Tribe.

The word "Ma'a Torro" is a Bagobo K'lata word which means "Mangaon ta (let's eat!)"

"This is a collaborative effort and idea of Davao Lumad leaders. We decided to open a restaurant like this because we want to show to the public the delicious food prepared by the Lumads," Kessia Tar, owner of the restaurant said. Tar is from the Bagobo K'lata tribe.

She added that opening such restaurant is also a move necessary to preserve their culture in terms of food and delicacies.
