MANILA, Philippines — Donny Pangilinan just declared his devotion to his onscreen partner Belle Mariano by saying that his "He's Into Her" (HIH) leading lady will always be his favorite co-actor and love team partner.
"She's always be my love team to me," he declared at the recent virtual presscon for the upcoming second season of their hit campus romantic-comedy.
"In terms of love team, wala din akong nakikitang ibang gustong makasama kundi siya kasi siya 'yung favorite kong co-actor ever. I mean in terms of everything we've gained together and done together," he said.
After more than two years of working together on the show's two seasons and the movie "Love Is Color Blind," he felt that they have "leveled up" in terms of their working and personal relationship.
"I feel that with Belle sobrang naging genuine lang kami. That's what I love most about her as well. She's so genuine. I as well can open up to her. I as well can be myself with her. It's rare for me to put down my walls and with her, it's possible kasi I trust her so much," Donny revealed.
Belle affirmed that they have become more comfortable as co-actors. She said that they have had conversations about the possibility of being paired with other actors, a set-up that is not easily accepted by fans of any popular love teams like DonBelle.
"Donny and I talked about this. It's really all about communication like he said. When it comes to materials that the other one isn't part of, we're very supportive of each of our passions," Belle said. "I don't wanna be a hindrance to his growth. So yeah, we'll talk about it muna and communicate."
The second season of "He's Into Her" will premiere on April 22 on ABS-CBN's multiple platforms.
