Philippine rep
“Kung meron na pagkakataon that I felt proud being a Filipino, ito yung pagkakataon na andun ako sa entablado bilang representative ng Pilipinas, Kumabaga sa boxing, Manny Pacquiao ang feeling ko noon eh. Dala-dala mo ang Pilipinas,” Eugene said in an interview at the Golden Screen Awards.
She shares the award with Filipinos who supported and voted for her in the poll.
“Nagsanib pwersa ang mga Pilipino dita sa buong mundo para manalo ako. So, yung panalo ko is panalo nating lahat,” she added.
Eugene hopes recognitions for Fil collaborations with other countries.
“It ope collaborations with other countries.
“It opened a door for the Filipinos, Chinese and other Asian countries na panahon na para mag-collaborate, lumabas tayo at sumunod sa development ng filmmaking,” Eugene said.
Eugene made everyone laugh with her natural, funny antics as she accepted her award from Chinese superstar Andy Lau onstage. Although she playfully told Andy she wanted to do a movie with him, Eugene told the local press she is really not expecting it. Knowing that Andy was game on stage is enough to make her happy.
“Huwag tayong masyadong umasa doon. Ako naman eh okay lang na Andy Lau was very, very playful. Game siya sa paglalaro sa stage. He's very charming," she observed.
Still nervous
Winning awards and getting nominations are no longer new to Eugene, but she still feels nervous whenever she gets one. She said that she was not really expecting to win at Asian Film Awards because of other great actresses she was competing with.
“Of course (I still get surprised), sa totoo lang give up na ako eh. Kase ang gagaling talaga ng mga artista eh. Nakalimutan ko na meron pa palang People’s Choice. So, hindi ko talaga inasahan iyon. Sa totoo lang, handa na akong umuwing empty-handed,” she revealed.
Upon accepting the award, Eugene texted showbiz friends Kris Aquino, John Lapus, Vice Ganda and Angelica Panganiban, who she asked help from in spreading the word about the voting poll.
“As soon as natanggap ko yung award na People’s Choice, tinext ko lahat ng artistang hiningan ko ng tulong na ‘Sabihan nyo naman yung mga followers ninyo sa Twitter na bumoto.’ Sabihin ninyo sa mga kulto ninyo nanalo ako,” she said in jest.
On a serious note, Eugene said she is tied to her profession and will accept whatever God plans for her love life.
“Pwede na sigurong sabihin at this point, hindi na rin naman na ako kabataan, parang na-accept ko na na ang asawa ko ay ang trabaho ko. So, kung meron mang supresa, nasa Panginoon na iyon,” she revealed.
“Kung bibigyan pa niya ako ng isang love of my life sa katauhan ng isang lalaking katulad ni Andy Lau. Bahala na ang Panginoon doon,” Eugene added jokingly.
