Ang Isang Chef na OFW.... 

Truly napaka layo ng sinasahod ng isang Chef sa Pilipinas compared sa abroad.. Sa Pilipinas ang isang bagong chef na may 3 years experience makatanggap ng 300 pesos/ day imagine that pero once na sila ay lumabas na sa  ating bansa average market price nila is $1000 dollars per month or 43,500 and that is 1,450/ day salary... and that is 5 times bigger than what they receive back home. 


I'm sharing to you some experiences of my former apprentices like Vincent Uy, Fiel, Mark Ian and Troy all of them have the chance working under me on my projects and some which occupied great post back home. 


I know its very difficult for them when they were still starting up but after 3-4 years of working under me they are now accomplished chefs. I believe to the fact that teach a person to cook and he will feed himself for the rest of his life... 


Pero me mga set backs din yun imagine there was a point that they will work without a day off kasi madami kumakain sa resto. Then wala sila kapalitan on their shift thats why they have to extend their duty but all of the overtime is paid naman. Their very lucky with their employer super bait. 


Although my cultural differences pero the moment that their here in another country its a blessing for them. 


Here are some improvements: 


1. Dati si Fiel kuntento na sa Nova at Chippy pero Ngayun Lay's Potato Chips na ang kinakain. 
2. Dati ok na sa ukay ukay bumili ng damit ngayun naka Giordano na at brand new... 
3. Hindi ka magkaka laptop sa Pinas kung di mu kukuhanin ng installment pero its the least of your priority    
    ngayun si Vincent Uy naka dalawa ng laptop. 
4. Lahat sila naka state of the art na Nokia or Samsung Cellphone dati naka analog lang na CP. 
5. Ang Dairy Queen Ice Cream is pang karaniwan lamang sa Kanila ginagawa lang nilang Dirty Ice Cream.
6.  Puno ang cabinet nila ng mga items na inihahanda nila para sa pag uwi nila me gamit sila sa bahay. 
7.  Napapa aral na nila ang lahat ng kapatid nila. 
8.  Aircon ang buong bahay na tinutulugan nila 
9.  Sawa na sila sa manok at baka they eat it every day dati tsaga lang sila sa sardinas at Lucky me 
10  Ngayun namimiss nila ang Sardinas at Pancit Canton...
