Joke lang. Always. My favorite scent ni Belle, I don’t know the name of it--fruity siya pero citrusy ba siya.&quot;</p><p>&quot;Paano ko naaamoy? Grabe din mag-cologne &#x27;to ha, pagpasok ko pa lang ng kuwarto naamoy ko na agad alam kong nandiyan na si Belle.&quot;</p><p>Mariano, for her part, affirmed that Pangilinan also smells good. &quot;Yeah! Seryoso, ang bango tignan at mabango din talaga siya. Very clean and musky--combination na very distinct sa mga tao, pero ang ganda kasi nagma-match sa skin chemistry niya,&quot; she said, also praising the actor&#x27;s generosity. </p><p>When asked what has been Pangilinan&#x27;s best gift for her, the actress said: &quot;I remember your first gift sa akin, a &#x27;Barney&#x27; CD--the original one. Growing up, I watched &#x27;Barney&#x27; and I told this sa kanya.&quot; </p><p>&quot;Tapos nawala lahat ng &#x27;Barney&#x27; merch (ko). Naiwan ko sa old house namin. So sabi ko, ano ba &#x27;yan, sayang. So hinanap niya, nakahanap siya ng original.&quot;</p><div><strong></strong><span class="fr-video fr-deletable fr-fvc fr-dvb fr-draggable" contenteditable="false" draggable="true"><iframe width="640" height="360" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/CBUz4TuOa40?&amp;wmode=opaque&amp;rel=0" frameBorder="0" allowfullscreen="" class="fr-draggable"></iframe></span></div><div><strong>Red flags</strong></div><p>Pangilinan mentioned that one of Mariano&#x27;s &quot;forgivable&quot; red flags was she prefers calls over text messages. </p><p>&quot;Saka [isa pang] red flag, hindi siya nagre-reply minsan. Ok lang naman, lahat naman tayo ganun?&quot;</p><p>He added: &quot;Me and Belle, we don&#x27;t like being on our phones all the time.&quot;</p><p>She replied: &quot;Hindi naman ako one text away, one call away ako.&quot; </p><p>Meanwhile, Mariano said Pangilinan&#x27;s red flag is that he gets annoyed when he&#x27;s famished and sleepless. So what does she do to put him in a good mood? </p><p>&quot;&#x27;Yung mga pagkain,&quot; she said. &quot;I&#x27;ve known him for so long na, I know the best time to talk to him. &#x27;Yun nga bibigyan ko ng food, minsan pag walang taping chair, bibigyan ko ng taping chair.&quot;</p><div><strong>Love languages</strong></div><p>One noticeable thing during the media conference was the affirming words of Pangilinan towards Mariano. We asked him if that is his love language for the actress.</p><p>&quot;It&#x27;s one of,&quot; he replied. &quot;I always say that communication is one of the biggest things talaga, especially when you&#x27;re part of something that&#x27;s so long. You see yourself as teammates, not as enemies. I think that&#x27;s important.&quot; </p><p>He added, &quot;When I tell her, &#x27;hey, we&#x27;re in this together, I&#x27;m your teammate here,&#x27; it really does a lot for the both of us.&quot;</p><p>Meanwhile, Mariano said, &quot;Lahat tayo may qualities ng lahat ng love languages. Depende lang kung ano &#x27;yung nangingibabaw. Minsan acts of service, minsan gifts. But yeah, I agree--words of affirmation and quality time.&quot; </p><div><a href="https://www.abs-cbn.com/entertainment/showbiz/movies-series/2025/1/21/donny-belle-excited-to-be-back-on-primetime-via-how-to-spot-a-red-flag-1803" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Donny, Belle excited to be back on primetime via &#x27;How To Spot A Red Flag&#x27;</a></div><div><strong>Related video:</strong></div><div><span class="fr-video fr-deletable fr-fvc fr-dvb fr-draggable" contenteditable="false" draggable="true"><iframe width="640" height="360" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/sFpqMSoWbl8?&amp;wmode=opaque&amp;rel=0" frameBorder="0" allowfullscreen="" class="fr-draggable"></iframe></span><br/></div><div><span class="fr-video fr-deletable fr-fvc fr-dvb fr-draggable" contenteditable="false" draggable="true"><iframe width="640" height="360" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/HAGXdT6bUoI?&amp;wmode=opaque&amp;rel=0" frameBorder="0" allowfullscreen="" class="fr-draggable"></iframe></span><br/></div>
