Don’t be deceived by the beauty of
Robie Yu Panis because she is too dangerous. Don’t worry, what I’m saying is she
is notorious in the cockfighting world. As I’ve known, she is very kind and
humble in personal. She has a natural charisma that every cockfighter would love. She was already featured in various
TV programs and magazines.
Robie is the farm manager in Firebird Gamefarm owned by Biboy Enriquez. Before that, she was recruited to be a
receptionist in that said farm. Her work is to estimate the clients. Replying
to all inquiries by e-mail, call or by text messages until she was promoted. As
of now, as a farm manager, she is overall in-charge in the operations of Firebird
Gamefarm. Before she working for Biboy, she was a former receptionist in a mall, fitness center and hotel. She dreamed
to be a flight attendant and she never imagined that she will be a part of
cockfighting industry. But she has not regretted in her decision because she
earning a decent income with her current job.
When Robie started as a gaffer? One
day, Biboy enrolled her in a seminar of Doc Teddy Tanchanco. One of the subject
is about gaffing. After that, she was undergoing gaffing lessons by the veteran
gaffers like Jun Gayosa, Noli Estrellado and Albert Margen and the rest was
becoming history! Now, she was known as the first Philippine gaffer and others
called him the queen gaffer. But she is only smiling about that praises. She
will be more happy if you will call her as a princess, not a queen. By the way,
aside from Robie; Biboy has also some female workers in his farm.
If Firebird’s Gamefarm has a fight in a cockpit, you will see Robie is holding her gaffing materials. That is why many men
astounding of her skills. It’s not all about beauty, but she is a tough gaffer. So, don’t
underestimate her. Because there are some cockfighters teasing him also. Yes, it
is true that cockfighting is a men’s world. But for Robie, if men could gaff, she can do it also. But
according to her, it’s not matter what’s your sex preference, the important is
you could do a good job. But it doesn’t mean that there’s something special with a
lady gaffer. She don’t have a good touch in chicken like what others thinking
of her. At first fight, she also feels nervous but she becomes aggressive in their
next fight. She like a soldier, when she gets wounded, she will be fighting more and more.
