President Elect Rodrigo Duterte has announced that a Belgian will be his personal chef at the Malacañang when he takes office on June 30th.

Peter de Cauwer was introduced to the media in a press conference in Davao City at Hotel Elena yesterday.

Cauwer is married to a Filipina and is a master chef and master baker as well as a full time food consultant.

Cauwer told the media that he can cook the president-elect’s favorite dishes.

Duterte told the media that he is not on a restrictive diet, and does not like chocolates in general.

“I am a very simple man with one viand and rice only. It would be enough for me,” Duterte added.
