It's a wish come true for blockbuster comedy actress Eugene Domingo.
Eugene was very vocal about her desire to penetrate Asia and she thought by winning an international award (particularly mentioning the Asian Film Awards) it will easily bring her to fulfill that dream.
And in the recently concluded 6th Asian Film Awards awarding ceremonies which took place at the Hong Kong Convention and Exhibition Center on March 19, Eugene was named People's Choice for Favorite Actress for her effective portrayal of herself in the movie Ang Babae Sa Septic Tank.
Eugene will be competing againstIndia’s Vidya Balan for “The Dirty Picture,” Taiwan’s Michelle Chen for “You Are the Apple of My Eye,” Iran’s Leila Hatami for “A Separation” and Hong Kong’s Deanie Ip for “A Simple Life."
The Philippines bagged two trophies at the recently-concluded 6th Asian Film Awards.
Shamaine Buencamino was named Best Supporting Actress for her performance in Niño, an entry at last year's Cinemalaya Film Festival where she also won in the same category.
