Sa punto daw ng friendship nila ngayon ng Belle Mariano, masasabi ni Donny Pangilinan na kumportableng-kumportable na siya sa dalaga. “Kasi sometimes when I’m with people I’m not super close to, it’s hard for me to open up and hard for me to, you know, just move without thinking as much. But with her it’s super chill lang. We’re comfortable with each other

Sinagot ng aktor na si Donny Pangilinan ang totoong estado ng relasyon nila ng ka-love team n’ya na si Belle Mariano.

Naganap ito sa vlog interview ng journalist-vlogger na si Karen Davila na in-upload on YouTube on January 22.

Dinalaw kasi s’ya ni Karen sa kanyang bahay kung saan s’ya solo na siyang nakatira for the past six months.

Matapos ang kanilang kumustahan at tsikahan about his new place, his shoe collection, and his family ay nauwi sa pag-ibig ang naging laman ng usapan.

Natanong kasi ni Karen ang aktor kung naniniwala ba s’ya na love is blind na tila ikinonek nito sa titulo ng digital movie nila ni Belle Mariano na Love is Color Blind na nag-premiere sa iWantTFC and other online platforms noong December 10, 2021.

“I believe love is something you can’t explain, e. So when it happens it happens,” sagot ni Donny.

Dito na rin s’ya diretsahang natanong ng Kapamilya journalist-vlogger kung naranasan na ba n’yang ma-in love.

“Of course, I’ve been in love. I’m 23 na,” natatawang sagot n’ya. “I think [in] high school. We never got together.”

’Yon na rin daw ang nagsilbing first heart break  experience n’ya.

“I guess, that can count as heartbroken siguro. Kasi na-friend zone ako dati, e,” pag-amin ng aktor.

Hanggang sa dumako na nga ang usapan nila sa leading lady n’ya na si Belle. Hindi daw talaga sila close before hanggang sa magtambal sila sa digital series na He’s Into Her kung saan nagkaroon sila ng pagkakataon na makilala ang isa’t isa.

“I met Belle…like in 2018 if I’m not mistaken. But that was once lang. One day lang. We didn’t really do much together. We played ML…Mobile Legends. We played a little bit of that. Talked a bit. Pero we didn’t do a lot of stuff,” pagre-recall n’ya.

“Pero when He’s Into Her came, s’yempre, with the go-see, the screen test and stuff like that, that’s when I really started to get to know her, 2019.”

Walang paligoy-ligoy na tanong pa ni Karen: “Kayo ba talaga ni Belle?”

“Oh my God! Grabe naman… Grabe ang mga tanong ni tita,” natatawang sagot ni Donny.

Dahil dito, nagpaliwanag ang binata nina Maricel Laxa at Anthony Pangilinan. Aniya:  “Belle and I are in a happy place right now. We’re very grateful for our situation and blessed to be an inspiration to many people, hopefully. More than that, we’re blessed to be having these projects together. We’re close, we’re very close… ’Yon na ’yong answer ko, tita.”

At kung may katangian daw si Belle na pinaka nagugustuhan n’ya, iyon ay ang pagiging totoo daw nito sa kanyang sarili at hindi nagpapa-apekto sa mga sinasabi sa kanya ng ibang tao.

“What I like in her is, she’s herself… sometimes to a fault. But in a good way naman. Like, she just separates [from showbiz] and she just goes with what she thinks is her life,” ani Donny.

“She doesn’t care what other people say. And I really admire that about her. She doesn’t let anyone affect her. She is very focused.”

Komportable din daw s’yang ipakita ang totoong s’ya kapag kasama n’ya ang aktres. Hindi daw kasi n’ya ito nagagawa kapag may kasama s’yang ibang tao na hindi n’ya ka-close.

“Kasi sometimes when  I’m with people I’m not super close to, it’s hard for me to open up and hard for me to, you know, just move without thinking as much. But with her it’s super chill lang. We’re comfortable with each other,” lahad pa n’ya.

Pamatay na tanong pa ni Karen sa kanya: “So, you fell in love in the set?”

Natawa at napakamot na lang ng batok si Donny.  Pero pagtitiyak n’ya, mas close daw sila ngayon ng Kapamilya actress.

“We’ve gotten closer for sure, one hundred percent. We’re together every day like, from He’s Into Her and then Love is Color Blind,” sagot n’ya kay Karen.

Kung may ligawan man na mangyayari, iiral daw ang pagiging old fashioned n’ya.

“I’m just the type of guy who likes writing letters, maybe sends flowers or something that’s not digital, that can’t be seen online. Kasi parang nowadays those are more rare so it’s nice when it happens,” aniya.

At dahil nasa hustong gulang na rin, natanong pa s’ya ni Karen kung gusto rin ba n’ya ng malaking pamilya gaya ng family niya kapag lumagay na s’ya sa tahimik someday.

“I’ve never thought about that yet. I want kids, of course. I don’t know how many. Maybe two or three… I don’t know yet,” pagtatapos ni Donny.
