“We are truly humbled. It is a great feat to be recognized as one of the best but the mutual respect and encouragement from your peers in the industry is priceless,” said PACE culinary captain Chef Lowell Cauilan, himself a gold medalist in the culinary cup.

For the first time in a decade, a province-based school has bested other competitors in the PCC, the only culinary competition in the country sanctioned by the World Association of Chef Societies to showcase the best of the best in the industry.

“The culinary education scene is evolving. We are not just training chefs anymore but entrepreneurs as well. This makes PACE more inclusive as we use culinary education to provide more opportunities for our graduates” said school administrator Mark Catarroja.

According to Catarroja, it took five years of learning while in competition, 62 bronzes, 37 silvers and five gold podium finishes for PACE to achieve where it is right now.

“Success is no accident. It takes hard work, perseverance and humility to learn. And most of all, to love what you do spells the difference in achieving success,” Catarroja said.

“The feat of being an overall champion in the non-professional category will serve as an inspiration for us to be better and take risks moving forward for the benefit of our students and alumni,” added fellow PACE culinary captain Chef Menoy Gimenez.

“Indeed, success is where opportunity and preparation meet. PACE had the opportunity to transform from good to great and our years of preparation enabled us to be on top,” he said.
