    For Chef Rey P. Parreño II, Certified Hospitality Professional and Executive Chef of Florita’s Cavite, the journey to becoming a respected figure in the culinary world didn’t rely solely on refining recipes or mastering kitchen techniques—it also depended on the people he met along the way.

    “In hospitality, it’s not just about what you can do with a knife or stove. It’s also about who you collaborate with, who you learn from, and who you uplift in the process,” Chef Rey shared with Financial Adviser PH.

    Through years of experience in both the kitchen and the wider hospitality community, Chef Rey has seen firsthand how relationships open doors that skills alone sometimes can’t. Opportunities to grow, partner, and lead often begin with a conversation, a shared kitchen experience, or a recommendation from someone you’ve worked with.

    He emphasizes that networking isn’t just about collecting contacts—it’s about building trust over time. Whether it’s with fellow chefs, restaurant owners, suppliers, or even competitors, strong professional relationships create a sense of camaraderie that makes the entire industry stronger.

    “In this field, your reputation moves faster than you do,” he said. “People remember not only how good your food is, but how you conduct yourself behind the scenes.”

    These connections also lead to collaborative projects, mentorship opportunities, and community events that elevate both individual brands and local culinary scenes. Chef Rey has worked alongside many colleagues he once considered mentors, proving that building genuine relationships can evolve into partnerships that drive both personal and collective success.

    For young professionals entering the industry, Chef Rey recommends going beyond technical training. Attend events, join associations, volunteer at competitions, and introduce yourself. “Sometimes the next step in your career comes not from a job ad, but from someone who knows your name and respects your work ethic.”

    In an industry that thrives on both precision and personality, Chef Rey reminds us that success isn’t built in isolation. It’s shaped by the people you surround yourself with—and the respect you earn from them over time.

    Because in the end, no matter how refined your skills are, it’s the relationships you’ve built that sustain you for the long haul.
