What the cook / chef ads show
Advertised pay for cook / chef jobs in Metro Cebu is tightly bunched, with the middle half of ads between ₱14,750 and ₱17,750, and it leans upward: the top quarter starts ₱2,000 above the median, the bottom quarter only ₱1,000 below it. Only 10 ads stated pay this month, so a handful of new postings can move these figures. Many cook / chef ads leave pay out: only 30% state it, against 54% across all roles in Metro Cebu, so these figures rest on a smaller share of the postings.
