U.S. army seeks Filipino cooks

ANGELES CITY, Philippines (AFP): The U.S. army is seeking 60 Filipino cooks on one-month contracts during its military exercises with South Korea, a U.S. army officer said yesterday.

Pamela Hastings, U.S. Army contracting officer, said the Filipinos hired would live at Suwon and Yongsan Air Bases and Camp Walker in Korea during the U.S. army's exercises with South Korea from Aug. 1 to Sept. 1 this year.

They were looking to the Philippines since there was a lack of part-time skilled labor in Korea, Hastings said, adding that round-trip tickets to and from Korea would be provided.
