seven years later, belle’s instinct wasn’t to talk about their achievements. she went back to the workshop, the late night shoots, the fears and dreams they both carried before any of this was certain. for me, she isn’t remembering donbelle as a phenomenon… she’s remembering what it was like to grow up inside it w someone special.
“my constant teammate, my confidant, my partner in every sense of the word” idk about you, but for me this line will linger forever. not because it’s dramatic, but because it’s the kind of thing you can only say after years of shared history, years of becoming witnesses to each other’s lives. years of knowing each other’s deepest thoughts. of seeing versions of one another that the rest of the world never will.
and i think that’s why belle’s visual letter feels so full of love. not just for her nato, not just for the fans she so tenderly calls home, but for the life they built together. it feels like she never asks us to look at what donbelle became, but to remember the people at the center of it, the ones who dreamed it, carried it, and stayed.
it won’t be easy, donny and belle… but you’re both worth it 🤍
“you know it’s hard when something you’ve loved for so long begins to EVOLVE. but we hope you’ll continue walking w us, as we take these next steps as individual artists. we hope you’ll carry the same love and support you’ve given us for the past seven years.”
we will 🤍
“Because DonBelle is not a story about an ending—it is a story about growth.”
We will always be here, cheering for both of you. We will continue to wait, to support, and to believe because Donny, Belle, and this family will always stay. Here’s to more black and red hearts that will continue to stand by both of you, not only as DonBelle, but also as Donny and Belle, pursuing your individual journeys.
While this chapter brings a sense of heaviness, it also gives us peace knowing that this is not really a goodbye. Instead, it feels like the beginning of a new chapter waiting to unfold for each of you. We understand that growth sometimes means taking different paths, embracing new challenges, discovering greater strengths, and courageously chasing bigger dreams.
Although we will miss seeing the two of you together, we are equally excited to witness the incredible opportunities and milestones that await each of you. Your individual journeys deserve to be celebrated just as much as the beautiful partnership you shared.
DonBelle, countless hearts will continue to cherish and miss the comfort, joy, and inspiration your partnership has brought over the years. Watching both of you together became a meaningful part of our lives. Through every season, please remember that we will always be here — supporting, believing in, and rooting for both of you.
The love and admiration we have for you were built through years of unforgettable memories, genuine sincerity, and the happiness you shared with us. That kind of love does not simply fade because life leads you down different paths. It remains, carrying hope and gratitude for everything you have given us.
This season may feel bittersweet, but it also holds the promise of brighter days ahead. As one chapter closes, another begins, and we look forward to watching both of you continue to grow, shine and create new stories worth celebrating. We love you,
@donnypangilinan and @bellemariano02 🖤❤️
HANGGANG SA WAKAS DONBELLE
“to nato, thank you for being the most reliable anchor throughout this whirlwind of a ride. from our very first workshop together to our late night shoots. you’ve been my constant teammate, my confidant, my partner in every sense of the word. this is not a goodbye. it’s simply a "see you later" … and I promise, I will always be your biggest cheerleader from across the room.”
this message holds so much promise and assurance, and if we read between the lines, you’ll just know KNOW, hanggang sa wakas #donbelle 🫵🏻
Me: 💭 of Donny’s “Syempre sya talaga yun” may mean two things:
• Hindi nya kailangan ng double kasi kayang-kaya nya ipakita ang magandang abs nya.
• Hindi ko gagawin yung eksena na hindi sya ang partner.
#DonBelle
“ang layo mo” hahahaha ang cute cute. oftentimes, we see donny na nilalapit ang chair or umuusog palapit kay belle, ganon din po si belle. ganun silang dalawa.
DonBelle talking about shooting their kilig scene esp kissing scenes HAHAHAHAHAHAH masaya nga daw kasing i shoot, wag na mag tanong kung bakit
#DonBelle
yung mukha/reaction ni donny nung tinanong ni direk tonet, “ikaw talaga yon?” talking about the kurtina scene of belle, yung diin ni donny sa “shempre, siya talaga yon” HAHAHAHAHAHA iykykykykyk 😆
