MABUHAY AACACO!

IMPORTANT ANNOUNCEMENT FOR ALL INCOMING AAOJT STUDENTS.

17/07/2026

Reflecting on our AACACO Experiential Learning 2026, our hearts are full. This project was more than just a requirement; it was a major milestone in our growth and our journey toward being truly industry-ready.

Serving as a pop-up restaurant for the past three weeks was an eye-opener. We faced both successes and failures head-on, and honestly, that’s exactly where the real learning happened. We’ve learned that sometimes the best lessons come from the moments that didn't go quite as planned, and we are better culinarians for it.

We couldn't have done this without so much support:

To the UB community, our families, and our friends—thank you for showing up, dining with us, and cheering us on.

To our SIHTM family, especially our Dean, Jenelyn Magpatoc, thank you for your constant support and for believing in what we can achieve.

To our mentors—Ma'am Pamela Consul, Sir Michael Tambol, Chef Klde Mortel, Chef Ailene, and Chef Racquel Tacwigan—thank you for your time, your patience, and your guidance through every service.

To our beloved AACACO Chairperson—Chef Sweet Eulynette Garcia, thank you for guiding us all throughout the 3-week experiential learning, we were able to learn and improve a lot of skills and knowledge because of your guidance. Thank you for your patience and understanding, we may have been a bit of hard-headed and naughty students, but you have extended your patience and widened your understanding towards us. We are so grateful to have you as AACACO's chairperson/mother.

Above all, we give thanks to the Lord for all the lessons learned and for the memories we’ve made that we know will stick with us for a lifetime.

To the world, she is a master pastry chef and an incredible instructor. But to the AACACO family, she is the heart and soul of our kitchen. 👩‍🍳💖
​They say anyone can teach, but it takes someone truly extraordinary to guide like a master artisan and love unconditionally like a mother. Today, we are celebrating the beautiful life, grace, and impact of our beloved Ma'am Raquel. 🎂
​For years, Chef Raquel has been turning student dreams into reality. She is the living proof that true greatness in any career is built on humility and a gentle heart. In a busy, hectic kitchen, her soft voice has always been our anchor, giving us the confidence to succeed and reminding us to always choose kindness. Beyond the recipes and techniques, it’s the genuine warmth and maternal care that we will cherish forever. She manages life and leadership with unmatched grace and compassion. 🌸
​"Ma'am Raquel, we—your AACACO students—thank you from the bottom of our hearts. You didn't just teach us; you mothered us. We thank God for His love in gifting us one of the absolute best teachers we could ever ask for." 🤍
​May your day be as sweet, beautiful, and full of joy as the love you constantly pour into our lives. We are always rooting for you!
​Happiest Birthday to our beloved Nanay, Chef Raquel! We love you so much! 🥂🍰🎈​
