Robbie Filipino, a dynamic Filipina from Cebu, always had a flair for the arts. A college language teacher by profession, she pursued her master’s degree in the Philippines. Her academic journey was paved with a scholarship, a testament to her exceptional talent in dancing. Beyond her scholarly pursuits, Robbie was a jack-of-all-trades, embracing side hustles such as singing, choreography, and hosting to support herself. Life took an unexpected turn when her husband landed a job as an engineer in Germany. With a heavy heart, Robbie left behind her career and community in the Philippines to join him in a foreign land. The move was anything but easy. The language barrier and culture shock made everyday life a challenge, and Robbie found herself starting from scratch. Caring for their three young children while navigating this new world added to the pressure.
Despite the hurdles, Robbie’s love for dancing remained a constant in her life. She found solace in a local Zumba class, where her talent did not go unnoticed. Recognizing her potential, the trainer invited her to join their club and eventually teach classes. For seven fulfilling years, Robbie thrived in this role, reconnecting with her passion for dance and integrating into the community.
However, the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic brought another wave of challenges. With the closure of gyms and fitness centers, Robbie had to pivot yet again. She took on a mini-job in a home for the aged facility, a physically demanding role that tested her resilience. The strenuous work at work took its toll, but Robbie’s spirit remained unbroken. She persevered. Today, Robbie has reinvented herself once more, this time as a host for events and parties across Germany. Her infectious energy and vibrant personality have made her a sought-after figure in the event-hosting scene. Throughout her journey, Robbie’s daughter, Princess, has been a silent witness to her mother’s unwavering determination and creativity.
Growing up, Princess absorbed these values, learning the importance of hard work and adaptability. Now, Princess is making her mark in the world of fashion, modeling, and participating in runways. Her keen sense of style and passion for fashion are evident in everything she does.
Robbie’s story is one of resilience and reinvention, a testament to the power of perseverance and the unbreakable bond between a mother and her daughter. As they continue to forge their paths in Germany, Robbie and Princess exemplify the strength of spirit and the beauty of embracing one’s passions, no matter where life leads.
