I DECIDED TO DO THIS AS I HAVE 2 YOUNG CHILDREN JOVEN 7 MY SON AND MICHELLE 5 MY DAUGTER . AFTER 2 YEARS RUNNING THE HOTEL I FEEL I WOULD JUST LIKE TO BE EMPLOYED !! AND I AM IN THE PROCESS NOW OF SELLING MY LEASE OF MY HOTEL AND JUST BE EMPLOYED IN A 4 OR 5 STAR HOTEL AS EXECUTIVE SOUS CHEF OR POSSIBLY TAKE ON A COOKING TEACHERS ROLE IN THE PHILIPPINES ! MONEY IS NOT MY GOAL JUST TO KEEP BUSY AND WORKING ! I REALLY ENJOY TEACHING AND FEEL ITS PROBABLY BEST TO TAKE ON SUCH A POSITION TO SHARE MY KNOWLEDGE OF OVER 40 YEARS EXPERIENCE AS AN EXECUTIVE CHEF WITH CULINARY KNOWLEDGE OF MANY COUNTRYS I COULD WORK FOR A MAXIMUM PHILIPPINO WAGE DOING THIS COOKING TEACHERS POSITION IN THE PHILIPPINES THE WAGE WOULD HAVE TO BE A GOOD PHILIPPINO SALARY NOT AN EXECUTIVE SALARY AS I COULD EARN IN A 5 STAR HOTEL THEN WE ARE TALKING BIG MONEY OVER 200,000 PESO PER MONTH FOR AN EXPAT EXEC CHEF. I WOULD LOVE TO TEACH WANNA BE PINOY UP AND COMING CHEFS. ICAN SEND MY PHOTO AND RESUME TO ANYBODY WHO NEEDS A GREAT CHEF OR COOKING TEACHER
