I would just like to shout out to all the Filipino or Filipino-American chefs I met in DMV (District of Columbia, Maryland, Virginia) through Foreign Assistant Secretary JV Chan Gonzaga. We all know about Chef Cristeta Comerford who has been the executive chef of the White House since 2005, serving since the time of President Clinton in 1995 as assistant chef before becoming head chef under the Bush administration and onwards. Then there is Chef Abie Sincioco-Mateo, executive chef at the residence of the Philippine Ambassador.
