He’s also about to start filming a Metro Manila Film Fest (MMFF) entry entitled <i>The Strangers</i> together with Enchong Dee and Julia Montes. Apart from that, he’s currently busy taping the hit series <i>Princess and I</i>.</div><div><br/></div><div>Asked if he still gets time off work, Enrique revealed he barely sleeps at home at all. “<i>Dun na ako natutulog sa</i> van. <i>Ako yung tipong,</i> you work so hard,<i> inaayos mo bahay mo, hindi mo naman nagagamit bahay mo. Yung</i> free time <i>ko</i> for promo. Like <i>pagkagaling ng</i> taping<i> ng</i> <i>Princess and I madaling araw, maaga pa lang nasa</i> ANC, Tambayan 101.9 <i>tapos mga</i> press con, so wala <i>ng</i> free time. Everyday <i>may</i> taping. <i>Habol kami ng</i> MMFF <i>eh</i>.”</div><div><br/></div><div>Far from complaining, Enrique happily makes the most out of the opportunities thrown his way, it’s a wonder how he functions and keeps his cool at the same time. “It’s worth the wait. <i>Hindi ka aayaw sa trabaho. Yung iba nga wala.</i> So <i>mas gusto mo na yung meron kahit walang pahinga minsan. Kasi after</i> MMFF <i>makakapag</i>-rest <i>naman ako</i>. I’d love to go with my family and friends in Maldives for vacation.”</div><div><br/></div><div>The 20-year-old further shared with <a href='http://Push.com.ph'>Push.com.ph</a> his plans to put up a business and other personal investments. “<i>Pinapaayos ko ngayon yung bahay namin. Tapos</i> I want to buy a property, <i>magpaupa ng</i> house <i>para may</i> income <i>ka. Yung makukuha ko sa</i> rent, <i>yun ang mapupunta sa ipon kasi yung kinikita ko sa</i> work ngayon is more than enough for my family's day-to-day needs. <i>Yung sa</i> rent <i>dun mapupunta yung gusto kong bilhin na</i> house for myself and cars that I want.”</div><div><br/></div><div>At his age, Enrique has already learned the importance of saving up instead of spending on luxurious stuff that he can do without at the moment. “You have to think ahead.<i> Gusto ko noon bumili ng kotse. Pero naisip ko, sayang naman kung lahat ng pera nasunog sa</i> kotse <i>na nagde</i>-depreciate. <i>May kotse ka nga wala ka naman pera sa</i> bank or <i>wala kang bahay</i>. <i>Dapat </i>stable <i>ka</i>. <i>Napagusapan namin ng</i> mom <i>ko mag-</i>quit <i>siya sa job niya</i> after a year. <i>Siya</i> raw magmanage <i>sa</i> finances <i>ko.</i>”</div><div><br/></div><div>His sole focus on achieving such dreams is the very reason why he avoids getting involved with anyone at this point in his career. “<i>Kung gusto mo ng</i> love life, <i>dapat may</i> 100 percent <i>kang time sa tao na gusto mo. </i>That’s when you go get serious in a relationship. <i>Hindi ka naman papasok sa isang relasyon na hindi ka</i> ready. Unfair <i>naman sa tao</i>. Girlfriend <i>mo nga siya, wala ka namang oras sa</i> girlfriend <i>mo. Anong klase yun? Hindi pwede yun. Ayoko ng ganon.”</i> </div><div><br/></div><div>Does he have a standard when it comes to the qualities he likes in a potential girlfriend? “I thought I had <i>pero hindi e. Basta nakita ko na</i>, ‘<i>Uy</i> solid <i>itong babaeng ito,’ natutuwa ako sa kanya, yun na</i>. Sometimes you think of wanting to have a girlfriend or you miss that <i>feeling na kinikilig ka</i> for a girl. <i>Pero ngayon wala akong hinahanap.”</i></div>

Enrique Gil is determined to be financially prepared for his and his family's future.
