We’re still not over this!

ICYMI, He’s Into Her actress Belle Mariano just made history as the first Filipina to be named Outstanding Asian Star at the 17th Seoul International Drama Awards on September 22.

During her speech, Belle extended her gratitude to her *partner* Donny, and said she wanted to share such an honor with him.

“Of course, to my partner, Donny Pangilinan, it has been an amazing journey with you. Here’s to more and I share this honor with you,” she said.

She also thanked everyone who made He’s Into Her possible, including the management, her supporters, and her mother.
