Eugene Domingo. You see her face, you recognize the name, but what you don’t know is that Eugene’s passion for the arts goes beyond giving you an exceptional movie experience with her hilarious antics.

 Pride for both her craft and Filipino roots are the fuel to doing her best and making a mark in the local and international filmmaking scene. With numerous awards and honors under her belt, such as the People’s Choice Award for Best Actress at the 6th Asian Film Awards, Movie Actress of the Year at the 26th PMPC Star Awards, Best Supporting Actress at the Manila Film Festival, Cinemalaya Independent Film Festival and Gawad Tanglaw Awards, just to name a few, she continues to send messages across to her viewers, both important and funny ones, using her superb and genuinely natural acting skills.

Eugene hopes that one day, Filipinos will learn to appreciate what is truly ours. Not just in the movie industry but even in the everyday products we consume. Gone are the days when anything and everything Hollywood was in. Now, it’s the time to patronize our own. Made by the Filipinos. For the Filipinos.
