MANILA, Philippines – In 2019, Donny Pangilinan and Belle Mariano were introduced as the lead stars of the television adaptation of the hit Wattpad novel He’s Into Her. The project launched one of the country’s most popular love teams and eventually earned the tandem its now iconic ship name: DonBelle.
Since then, the pair has headlined several films and television series that captured the sweetness of first love and the innocence of young romance. Through projects such as Love is Color Blind (2021) and An Inconvenient Love (2022), DonBelle cemented its place as one of the most influential on-screen partnerships in Philippine entertainment.
Now, as more mature artists, Pangilinan and Mariano face a new chapter in their careers — one that allows them to move beyond the identity of DonBelle. Their final film together, Tayo sa Wakas, serves as both a culmination of their journey as a love team and a testament to their artistic evolution.
Directed by acclaimed box-office filmmaker Cathy Garcia-Sampana and written by Vanessa Valdez, the film explores a more nuanced and emotionally complex portrait of love. At its core is a compelling question: What happens when the person you love becomes your competitor?
