MANILA - Comedienne Eugene Domingo said she is not interested in having the country's "Comedy Queen" title.
In a recent interview during a press conference for her newest film, "Momzillas," Domingo said what is more important to her is the opportunity to work with great actors and actresses such as her co-star Maricel Soriano, who is said to be the original "Comedy Queen."
"Wala po akong titulo na gusto. Cash na lang talaga," Domingo said in jest.
"Sa panahon ngayon, 'yung mga titulo minsan nayayanig. Gusto ko sana ay patuloy lang akong magkaroon ng pagkakataon na makasama sa pelikula 'yung mga katulad ni Maricel Soriano, kasi maraming marami akong matutunan sa kanya," she added.
Soriano, however, said she is more than willing to give her "Comedy Queen" title to Domingo.
"Oo naman, oo, oo. Alam mo, marami ang mahuhusay ngayon at madami silang nakikitaan ko ng potensyal, pero kailangan din natin na maging dedicated. Titignan ko muna kung dedicated sila, kasi marami ang talented pero hindi naman dedicated. Kasi minsan naiintindihan ko 'yung umiinit ng ulo, pero ang hindi ko maintindihan kung lalaki ang ulo eh susundutin ko ang ulo niyan.
"[Si Eugene] hindi siya ganoon, wala siyang ganoon," Soriano said.
"Momzillas" is set to hit theaters nationwide on September 18.
