Happy Mother's Day!

Going through Ms Annie Valdez’ properties and ventures, one would safely assume that she is a no-nonsense business owner. Despite her angelic features, she obviously runs tight and efficient operations, making her restaurant and commissary a tremendous success.

At the very core of this entrepreneur and chef is a loving mother. Experiencing how she moves and thinks, it is safe to assume that her life revolves around giving her all to her family. In her daily hectic grind, her immovable focus is on making them happy and passing-on the skills and techniques of the trade to her next generation. “Nashe-share ko yung knowledge ko, yung mga natutunan ko with my kids, yung natutunan ko sa kitchen and yung sa gawaing bahay”, Ms Valdez relates.

Global Academy is the proud venue of culinary polishing for this mother and entrepreneur. “Masaya [at] mahirap. Nakakapagod ang pagbalik- estudyante,” she continues. “Kasi syempre at my age, mga bata yung mga kasabayan ko. Parang nakakahiya naman na, lalo pagka mga written exam, na ambaba-baba ng mga grades ko. So nag-aral ako nang mabuti. Kaya nakakapagod pero enjoy naman.

Nakatulong yung studies ko sa Global Academy. Naging more detailed yung knowledge ko like the cooking techniques, proper sanitation, how you move faster in the kitchen, and then yung knowledge and familiarity ng mga iba-ibang ingredients. I took also yung other course para sa business side ng restaurant operations. Global helped me a lot.

Sa GoldiChef and sa FBC Commissary, applied lahat ng natutunan ko. We started in San Beda College in Taytay in 2004. Our second one is Marist Marikina. And then we have TIP Cubao. Nung 2008, sa amin binigay yung San Beda College Mendiola. San Beda University na ngayon. So ngayon dumami na nang dumami yung mga branches hanggang nagde-deliver at nag ke-cater na rin kami sa mga call centers. Kaya naisip na magtayo nitong commissary. Ang latest namin is yung sa St. Louis University sa Baguio.

Talagang ire-recommend ko ang Global Academy. Number one naman talaga ‘yun kasi maganda yung discipline na binibigay nila tapos yung sa studies talaga hindi siya yung tipong ‘ah okay na yan,’ parang ganun. Pinupulido nila yung gawa nung mga estudyante.

Ang lahat-lahat ng ito, para sa ikabubuti at ikauunlad ng pamilya ko.”, the mother-first, successful entrepreneur next, concludes.

Ms Annie Valdez is proof that realizing one’s full culinary potential is timeless and knows no stage-of-life limits!
