Growing Beyond the House that Built Me (with Eugene Chad)

Leaving home is only the beginning. For Eugene Chad, moving from Iloilo to Makati meant learning how to navigate adulthood, make difficult sacrifices, and build a career while figuring out who he wanted to become.

In this episode of Ganito Kasi ‘Yan!, Eugene opens up about the seasons of his life that challenged him the most—from financial pressure and uncertainty to the moments that made him realize he was no longer a kid. We talk about the sacrifices people don’t see, the realities of building a life from scratch, and how his Ilonggo roots and authentic personality shaped the person and creator he is today.

Because sometimes, growing up isn’t about having everything figured out—it’s about learning to embrace the season you’re in and trusting who you’re becoming.
