In the world of cockfighting, the traditional presumption is
that it’s a male-dominated sports and not for females. New generation
cockfighting is becoming more flexible than before, and not only limited for
men but for women as well. Any gender can join with this kind of sport and they
are welcome as well.
Female cockers do also love this sport, they fell in love
with it, and fact is they appreciate the beauty of cockfighting even though
it’s a bloody one. Their families or relatives are against them, maybe,
thinking that it is not suited for a lady. The notion of cockfighting for some
people, that this is just a form of gambling and for lazy people. And, there’s
nothing new with “cruelty to animals” argument.
Likewise, male cockfighters were also crucified by their
families and friends until they will totally convinced them that it’s many
positive aspects. Many people made the cockfighting as their livelihood and
became successful.
Women involved in cockfighting have different stories to
tell on how they entered in gamefowl industry. What a woman’s love with a
cocker? Her husband’s love for cockfighting made the famous lady cocker
Josefina “Osang” Dela Cruz of Goldquest Gamefarm to learn the ropes and
continued joining derbies than her husband. She devoted her time in cockpit to
prolong the passion inside.
Second in line was the adorable lady gaffer Robie Yu Panis,
farm manager of Firebird Gamefarm, owned by Biboy Enriquez. She was a former
hotel receptionist in Sulo Hotel formerly owned by Biboy who hired her as a
receptionist in his farm and promoted to a higher position. Robie Yu Panis is
the Princess of Gaff because of her pleasing personality that captured the
Philippine cockfighting arena. Because of her popularity she was featured
several times in magazines and television programs. Through her connection with
Biboy Enriquez, she became more popular ever since. She discovered the gamefowl
industry and explored it with vigor. Before, she doesn’t have any idea what is
