**********

I was observing all the students and see how hard they tried for this special event. Even their classmates showed their full support by being there to cheer and give encouragement.

I had a small chat with some of them and I am happy to say that they are all confident and excited as well. I don't see any competition in their faces. They may all look tired, but I sensed how they are enjoying what they're doing.

I remember my daughter when she was still in college. I always encouraged her to join any culinary competition and I made it a point to attend and cheer for her. Win or lose I am there to support. 

It is good to see that there is a big company like Fly Ace Corp.  and people who are willing to help and give more support to students. This way it will not only help the students, it will also help our country to improve and excel in culinary. I believe that Filipinos are all talented.

Thank you Fly Ace Corp.!

Congratulations to all participants!

You're all winners!
