KAPAMILYA love team Donny Pangilinan and Belle Mariano are set to star in their first primetime series “Can’t Buy Me Love,” with Mae Alviar Cruz as the director.
Yesterday, “DonBelle” along with Alviar Cruz officially announced their upcoming TV project under Star Creatives.
“You know ever since, this has always been a dream of mine. Growing up I used to watch primetime seryes nga and to be able to do one, oh my gosh with Direk Mae and him (Donny), grabe! I am so excited. I cannot wait,” Mariano said.
“I think it’s something we both have really prayed about, dreamed about and we can’t imagine na ito na ‘yon, we are really starting of course alongside an amazing director and person Direk Mae. And the whole cast, the whole crew, they started to tell us about like who is part of it already. It’s our first time working with Star Creatives as well… We are very excited. We just can’t wait. This is really a dream come true,” Pangilinan added.
In the event, Mariano and Pangilinan also shared a bit about their respective characters.
“My character is a Chinese. She was born in a very rich and traditional family. So ‘yun lang po ang pwede kong sabihin. And my character name is Caroline. So that’s all I can say for now,” Mariano said.
“Si Bingo ang pangalan ng ipo-portray ko. He is from a very poor family and he is very hardworking and his dream is just to provide for his family, be there for them,” Pangilinan said.
The upcoming series also marks the first time that the love team will work with Alviar.
For her part, Alviar said she is really happy to be working with the two.
“One of my routines when I am doing a project is to meet with the actors because I want to get to know them before we start the project. So, siyempre ako I’ve heard a lot about them. I mean I know Belle from ‘Four Sisters (Before the Wedding)’ and even before ‘Four Sisters’ I know of her na. But them as a love team that’s different. And I can say na yes they’re different,” Alviar said. (ABS-CBN News)
