When it comes to her personal life, Eugene said there is nothing new to talk about. “Wala. Siguro in God’s time pero open na rin ako sa wala. Okay na rin ako sa wala. Hindi naman yun sad. I’m sure hindi sad yun. Kasi kung masasaktan ka rin lang at mahihirapan kahit may ka-relasyon ka, hindi ba mas magandang mag-isa ka na lang at peaceful ka?” she said. The 40-year-old actress admitted she currently has no prospects as she is not seeing anyone in or out side of showbiz. “Wala, wala talagang nagpaparamdam. Dito sa pelikula meron (Kimmy Dora and the Temple of Kiyeme), horror ito eh (laughs),” she joked. Eugene said she does not feel pressured by the constant questions regarding her personal life because she understands that it is all part of being a public figure. “Eh hindi kayo nagsasawa eh (laughs). Hindi rin ako magsasawa sa kasasagot. Kung 72 years old na ako tapos tanong pa rin kayo ng tanong, eh sasaktan ko na kayo (laughs),” she said. The Kimmy Dora star said she is happy at the state of her good friend Ai-Ai De las Alas’s love life. There have been reports that Ai-Ai may be getting married before the year ends. Although Eugene did not confirm if the news was true, she said she and Ai-Ai have been in touch with each other despite working on different projects. “Tinatanong ko lang kung happy siya. Wala pa siyang sinasabing kasal. Kinakamusta ko siya at happy siya so sabi ko next year na siguro kami makakagawa ng pelikula kasi hindi ata siya makakasali ngayon sa MMFF (Metro Manila Film Festival). Eh ako hindi ko pa naman sigurado. Ganun lang ang daloy ng conversation namin. Tungkol naman dun sa kung ikakasal ako, ay susmaryosep, kung meron mang salita na magde-describe ng pakiramdam ko sa kaloob-looban, ito ay kuntento, satisfied, and grateful,” she said. Although she is seen as an independent and accomplished woman, Eugene said this does not mean she is giving up on the idea of marriage altogether. “Hindi naman ako sa hindi interesado pero sinuko ko na yan, puwedeng wala, puwedeng meron. Pero hindi ko na hahanapin. Masarap meron siyempre pero hindi ko uubusin ang oras ko sa kakahanap. Mas marami naman siguro yung isang tao na magmamahal sa akin ay matutumbasan sa mga binibigay ng Diyos. Marami namang nagmamahal sa akin. Okay na ito, masayang masaya na ako. Salamat sa Panginoon sa pagkakataong ito,” she said. Eugene said she tries to just be practical with her savings in showbiz. “Basta ako lahat ng kinikita ko ngayon di ba yung sunod-sunod na project, iniipon ko. Hindi talaga ako mahilig gumastos ng malaki eh. Iniipon ko and alam niyo naman di ba? We’re not always this hot,” she said. The Kimmy Dora star also gave some advice to the younger generation of actors who also want to make it big in the industry. “Kalma. Yun lagi ang sinasabi ko, yes you have to be committed to everything, huwag kang tatanggi. Kung sa umpisa pa lang tumatanggi ka na, dadating ang panahon that you will have the best options. Dadating ang panahon na mabibigay sa iyo yung mga roles na you deserve because you are very reliable. So siguro sa mga kabataan na nagsisimulang hanapin yung kanilang niche sa industriyang ito, ang maipapayo ko lang, pagbutihin na muna ninyo ang trabaho ninyo bago kayo mag-sikat-sikatan,” she shared. Catch Eugene in Kimmy Dora and The Temple of Kiyeme in theaters nationwide. The movie also stars Dingdong Dantes, Zanjoe Marudo, Miriam Quiambao, Alodia Gosengfiao, Ryan Bang, Ariel Ureta, Kiray Celis, and Mura.
