DonBelle rings in the holiday season with heartfelt messages, big dreams, and lots of ‘kilig’.
The duo stunned with their looks and performances at the ABS-CBN Christmas Special 2022 titled “Tayo Ang Ligaya Ng Isa’t Isa.” Inseparable throughout the night, they also participated in the behind-the-scenes ‘Paskulitan’ in which they shared their Christmas plans and played the Stocking Exchange game.
In the backstage show hosted by Alora Sasam, DonBelle kept mum about their gifts for each other this year. Well, who would want to ruin a special surprise? Instead, Donny thought of an intangible one, which is, “Just being able to go through this entire year with her, alongside her, is already one of the best Christmas gifts.”
Belle, if given the chance to bring Donny anywhere this Christmas, would go for Switzerland, which is included on their bucket list. They also wish to see the spectacular Northern Lights.
Moving on to the game, Donny and Belle had to take turns picking a piece of paper from two separate stockings – one contains a set of action words while the other has a list of body parts. Whatever combination they pick, they must perform on their partner while imparting a Christmas message within 30 seconds.
Donny picked ‘kamutin’ and ‘pisngi,’ meaning he must scratch Belle’s cheek. “Baka matulog ka,” he shared that Belle’s nanny used to lull her to sleep by gently scratching her skin. Alora took note of the pair's level of closeness.
Belle tried to stop being ticklish and listened intently to Donny’s Christmas wish for her, which says, “Ang Christmas wish ko para sa’yo ay makatulog ka nang mahimbing kasi ang dami nating na-miss out na oras at saka just spend time with your family. Excited na ako na ma-design mo yung bahay na ipapatayo mo.” They mentioned Belle will start to build her dream house next year.
If the first dare was adorably cute, the second one was pulse-pounding level of ‘kilig’ as Belle rests her cheek on Donny’s nape. They were so close we can’t breathe!
Here's what Belle said: “Ang Christmas wish ko, na ‘yung Christmas mo is just gonna be happy and you spend it with your loved ones, with your family. I hope 2023 is a good year for you, a better year than 2022. And your house, too. Since I know you’re also building, sana makakuha ka pa ng maraming-maraming properties.”
Apart from their dream house projects, DonBelle will be busy with their first-ever teleserye as a love team next year. Who else is excited for “Can’t Buy Me Love?”
