<p>When the first <em>Ang Babae Sa Septic Tank</em> movie came out in 2011, it became an instant cult classic, which spawned two sequels and solidified Eugene Domingo’s status as a force to be reckoned with in both mainstream and independent films. This year marks the latest iteration of writer Chris Martinez’s irreverent franchise as it takes the stage at the Philippine Educational Theater Association (PETA) theater with <em>Ang Babae Sa Septic Tank 4: Oh Sh*t! It’s Live Sa Cheter!</em> </p><p>During the show’s press conference last May 4, Eugene shared how important it was for her to be part of a production like this this year. </p><p>“When PETA invited me again and welcomed me again and has thought of another very important project for me again, hindi ako makapaniwala kasi at this point, after all the challenges that we have all experienced in the entertainment industry and especially the theater, who would have thought that theater, as of this moment, would really have its golden age? Meaning, it’s not only one or two or three or the established theater groups are already blooming and producing, we also have independent theater. And it means, this is the right time. And for me to be given the chance to be a part of the golden age of Philippine theater, I cannot believe it and I’m really excited and I’m ready,” she said. </p><div><br/></div><div><iframe class="instagram-media instagram-media-rendered" id="instagram-embed-0" src="https://www.instagram.com/p/DV2-tW5EvFO/embed/?cr=1&amp;v=14&amp;wp=540&amp;rd=https%3A%2F%2Fod2-workbench-web.abs-cbn.com&amp;rp=%2F#%7B%22ci%22%3A0%2C%22os%22%3A158512.5%2C%22ls%22%3A157790.2999999998%2C%22le%22%3A157800.5%7D" allowtransparency="true" allowfullscreen="" frameBorder="0" height="567" data-instgrm-payload-id="instagram-media-payload-0" scrolling="no" style="background:white;max-width:540px;width:calc(100% - 2px);border-radius:3px;border:1px solid rgb(219, 219, 219);box-shadow:none;display:block;margin:0px 0px 12px;min-width:326px;padding:0px"></iframe></div><script async="" src="//www.instagram.com/embed.js"></script><div><br/></div><div><br/></div><div><iframe class="instagram-media instagram-media-rendered" id="instagram-embed-1" src="https://www.instagram.com/p/DVN5kwmAtlg/embed/?cr=1&amp;v=14&amp;wp=540&amp;rd=https%3A%2F%2Fod2-workbench-web.abs-cbn.com&amp;rp=%2F#%7B%22ci%22%3A1%2C%22os%22%3A158536.2999999998%2C%22ls%22%3A157790.2999999998%2C%22le%22%3A157800.5%7D" allowtransparency="true" allowfullscreen="" frameBorder="0" height="881" data-instgrm-payload-id="instagram-media-payload-1" scrolling="no" style="background:white;max-width:540px;width:calc(100% - 2px);border-radius:3px;border:1px solid rgb(219, 219, 219);box-shadow:none;display:block;margin:0px 0px 12px;min-width:326px;padding:0px"></iframe></div><script async="" src="//www.instagram.com/embed.js"></script><div><br/></div><div><a href="https://www.abs-cbn.com/entertainment/showbiz/celebrities/2025/8/3/eugene-domingo-reveals-why-lea-salonga-is-a-world-class-talent-hindi-siya-nagkakamali-2036"><strong>READ: Eugene Domingo reveals why Lea Salonga is a world-class talent: ‘Hindi siya nagkakamali!’<br/></strong></a></div><div><br/></div><div><iframe class="instagram-media instagram-media-rendered" id="instagram-embed-2" src="https://www.instagram.com/p/DXY9QBnE549/embed/?cr=1&amp;v=14&amp;wp=540&amp;rd=https%3A%2F%2Fod2-workbench-web.abs-cbn.com&amp;rp=%2F#%7B%22ci%22%3A2%2C%22os%22%3A158550.7999999998%2C%22ls%22%3A157790.2999999998%2C%22le%22%3A157800.5%7D" allowtransparency="true" allowfullscreen="" frameBorder="0" height="489" data-instgrm-payload-id="instagram-media-payload-2" scrolling="no" style="background:white;max-width:540px;width:calc(100% - 2px);border-radius:3px;border:1px solid rgb(219, 219, 219);box-shadow:none;display:block;margin:0px 0px 12px;min-width:326px;padding:0px"></iframe></div><script async="" src="//www.instagram.com/embed.js"></script><div><br/></div><p>As she reprises the role as a meta version of herself on stage, the 54-year-old actress talked about just how proud she was of their production. </p><p>“Alam mo, ang saya ko. At saka sobra akong grateful. And at the same time, I have this thought na I’m really paying tribute to all the theater mentors I had who have already passed on. I’m very emotional. Because this is my first love. And I think I really want this to go on and on even after 50 shows. I really hope we can tour this. And if this would be my last play, I don’t mind. I really don’t. I can stop doing theater altogether and just continue being a content creator. I mean, if this is going to be the last play I’m going to do, it’s really beautiful,” she shared. </p><div><br/></div><div><iframe class="instagram-media instagram-media-rendered" id="instagram-embed-3" src="https://www.instagram.com/p/DX6qZ-vjnUw/embed/?cr=1&amp;v=14&amp;wp=540&amp;rd=https%3A%2F%2Fod2-workbench-web.abs-cbn.com&amp;rp=%2F#%7B%22ci%22%3A3%2C%22os%22%3A159925.10000000056%2C%22ls%22%3A157790.2999999998%2C%22le%22%3A157800.5%7D" allowtransparency="true" allowfullscreen="" frameBorder="0" height="944" data-instgrm-payload-id="instagram-media-payload-3" scrolling="no" style="background:white;max-width:540px;width:calc(100% - 2px);border-radius:3px;border:1px solid rgb(219, 219, 219);box-shadow:none;display:block;margin:0px 0px 12px;min-width:326px;padding:0px"></iframe></div><script async="" src="//www.instagram.com/embed.js"></script><div><br/></div><p>Eugene also admitted that although the play will follow the same format as the previous films, it will definitely be a whole different experience that is well worth the price of a theater ticket. </p><p>“This is theater. All in all, from the first time that I come out, from the first time you see the lights on, it’s theater. I mean, it’s larger than life. It’s all the mechanics of the Septic tank movie and series put into theater. So nandun pa rin yung paborito ninyo sa theater texture. This is rock and roll. This is really the coolest play you’re going to see this year. This is really rock and roll,” she added. </p><div><br/></div><div><iframe class="instagram-media instagram-media-rendered" id="instagram-embed-4" src="https://www.instagram.com/p/DX6qzu-joK9/embed/?cr=1&amp;v=14&amp;wp=540&amp;rd=https%3A%2F%2Fod2-workbench-web.abs-cbn.com&amp;rp=%2F#%7B%22ci%22%3A4%2C%22os%22%3A159980.7000000002%2C%22ls%22%3A157790.2999999998%2C%22le%22%3A157800.5%7D" allowtransparency="true" allowfullscreen="" frameBorder="0" height="925" data-instgrm-payload-id="instagram-media-payload-4" scrolling="no" style="background:white;max-width:540px;width:calc(100% - 2px);border-radius:3px;border:1px solid rgb(219, 219, 219);box-shadow:none;display:block;margin:0px 0px 12px;min-width:326px;padding:0px"></iframe></div><script async="" src="//www.instagram.com/embed.js"></script><div><br/></div><div><a href="https://www.abs-cbn.com/entertainment/showbiz/celebrities/2025/12/28/exclusive-eugene-domingo-on-being-married-to-an-italian-for-almost-10-years-i-m-a-woman-in-love-1323"><strong>READ: EXCLUSIVE: Eugene Domingo on being married to an Italian for almost 10 years: ‘I’m a woman in love’</strong></a></div><div><br/></div><p>As fans of the Septic Tank franchise already know, Eugene’s character always ends up with feces at the end of each film. This time around, with 50 show dates announced, Eugene said she is still coming to terms with having to experience that scene multiple times. </p><p>“I have to check. Kasi may mga moments na natapunan ako ng kahit gawa gawa lang na tae sumama talaga yung tiyan ko. Kasi minsan nakakain ko. Kasi siyempre umiiyak ako, umaarte ako. Aanuhin ko pa ba yun. So I have to check. And Septic Tank is not Septic Tank kung walang tae. Kahit na gawa gawa yung taeng yun, madumi ang tae. Alam niyo yun. Tae yun eh. And this time, check niyo rin, baka meron kaming merch sa labas na raincoat, alam niyo na (laughs),” she said. </p><div><br/></div><div><iframe class="instagram-media instagram-media-rendered" id="instagram-embed-5" src="https://www.instagram.com/reel/DVVnTd8kZhh/embed/?cr=1&amp;v=14&amp;wp=540&amp;rd=https%3A%2F%2Fod2-workbench-web.abs-cbn.com&amp;rp=%2F#%7B%22ci%22%3A5%2C%22os%22%3A160645.40000000037%2C%22ls%22%3A157790.2999999998%2C%22le%22%3A157800.5%7D" allowtransparency="true" allowfullscreen="" frameBorder="0" height="881" data-instgrm-payload-id="instagram-media-payload-5" scrolling="no" style="background:white;max-width:540px;width:calc(100% - 2px);border-radius:3px;border:1px solid rgb(219, 219, 219);box-shadow:none;display:block;margin:0px 0px 12px;min-width:326px;padding:0px"></iframe></div><script async="" src="//www.instagram.com/embed.js"></script><div><br/></div><p>Watch Eugene Domingo in <em>Ang Babae Sa Septic Tank 4: Oh Sh*t!
