MANILA, Philippines - “Pinag-iipunan, pinaghahandaan, pinag-iisipan. Everything is a product of hard work,” says comedian Eugene Domingo of her 60-square meter condominium unit in Quezon City. Eugene just moved to her newly-renovated apartment last summer, and the July issue of YES! Magazine gives readers an exclusive look at the home of one of the industry’s funniest women.
Eugene, or “Uge” to her fans, wanted her house to have a combination of modern and natural elements, so she sought the help of her good friend Gwyn Guanzon, who is also the creative director of Real Living magazine. “Pinaghalo namin ni Gwyn ‘yong kahoy at semento, at saka pa-modern, so halo-halo!” says Eugene. “Very much like me, because I want everything of anything.”
During the renovation of her Quezon City condo, Eugene couldn’t help but feel part of the process. She rented another unit in the building’s third floor so she could oversee the work of her carpenters and electricians.
