Barbers’ Tales (Mga Kuwentong Barbero): Randy

Randy Abendanio, 30, or Randy is from Pili, Camarines Sur. He rents the space for 3,500 a month at his Uncle Ed’s shop called Ed Barbershop. He started cutting hair  when he was 15 years old. He has a 2-year-old son Raven with Railyn, his live-in partner for five years. He has two more barber brothers where he learned his skills. He has 10-40 customers a day and once cut hair for 55 customers for 12 hours. He attends to each customer while his roosters crow. Randy, a part time ‘sabungero’ or cockfighting aficionado, takes a break after a job to feed his roosters nearby. But he said “Trabaho ang priority, bago ang sabong” or work is my priority, cockfighting is only second.
