Eugene Domingo

Eugene Domingo is a Filipino actress, comedienne and host born July 23, 1971. Known as the "Comedy Star for All Seasons," she rose to prominence as sidekick to Philippine Queen of Comedy Ai-Ai delas Alas in the Ang Tanging Ina series (2003–2010) before her first lead film role in Kimmy Dora (2009). Her films have collectively earned ₱1.81 billion, making her one of the highest-grossing Filipino box office stars this century.

Domingo's notable films include Bahay Kubo (2007), which earned her first Best Supporting Actress award. Her breakthrough lead vehicle, Ang Babae Sa Septic Tank (2011)—a Cinemalaya entry—became the highest-grossing independent film in Philippine history and was selected by the Film Academy of the Philippines for the 84th Academy Awards' Best Foreign Language Film category. She won Best Actress at Cinemalaya (2011) and the 10th Gawad Tanglaw for Films (2012), plus People's Choice Award for Best Actress at the 6th Asian Film Awards in Hong Kong (2012) and Best Actress at the 3rd Pau International Film Festival in France.

In 2010 alone, Domingo starred in six films across eight major production companies—GMA Films, Regal Films, Unitel Productions, OctoArts Films, Quantum Films, VIVA Films, Ambient Media, and Star Cinema—a record in Philippine cinema. She holds the first-lead-actress record for most films in a single year: seven. As a GMA Network contract artist, she appeared in comedy shows like Jejemom (2010), dramas including Ako si Kim Sam Soon (2008), and hosted Celebrity Bluff (2012–2018) and Dear Uge (2016–2022). Onstage, she earned "Best Actress in a Play" nomination at the International Theater Award and "Best Actress in Theater role" for Bona at the 25th Aliw Awards (2012). As a Leo, her creative expression channels both humor and vulnerability across multiple mediums.
