MANILA, Philippines—The dynamic young loveteam, known as DonBelle (Donny Pangilinan and Belle Mariano), recently opened up in an interview about their core values during their latest campaign with Smart Prepaid. The on-screen duo and Smart Prepaid ambassadors shared how their journey in the limelight has instilled a sense of responsibility, emphasizing that their choices today will significantly impact their future.
Pangilinan expressed, “What I treasure the most is time because dedicating your time to something signifies its importance. Life offers many possibilities, but time is limited, so we must make the most of it.” He added, “It’s essential to recognize that time is finite and should be cherished, whether it’s spent with family, friends, or loved ones.”

Mariano echoed Pangilinan’s sentiments, emphasizing the value of relationships: “I believe this sentiment applies to everyone. I hold my family, friends, and everyone in my life in high regard; they are an integral part of who I am today.”
Embracing the Value of Wise Choices
Pangilinan and Mariano are ardent proponents of the significance of making intelligent decisions to safeguard their future.
“As young as we are, we understand that as a generation, we have the power to influence the next generation. Therefore, it’s crucial that we make sound choices in our daily lives that will impact our future,” Belle emphasized.
In the digital age, they believe online shopping offers savings and convenience, allowing them to find the best deals and options.
Pangilinan shared his perspective, saying, “I often prefer online shopping platforms over physical stores. When I want to purchase something, I compare my options to find the best source. More often than not, I opt for online purchases with convenient home delivery.”
Furthermore, Mariano expressed her preference for Buy 1 Take 1 deals and emphasized the importance of product longevity. “Quality matters more than quantity to me. People should invest in items that offer long-term usability.”
Mastering Money Management
Donny shares valuable financial wisdom with fellow Gen Z individuals. He advises setting aside a portion of your budget for spontaneous purchases but underscores the importance of sticking to a strict limit.
“Often, we act impulsively rather than rationally. We make regrettable decisions when we don’t take the time to think things through. The same goes for spending. Planning is crucial. You can even allocate a budget for spontaneous purchases and refrain from exceeding that amount,” he recommends.
Both actors highlight the importance of seeking guidance from trusted financial experts. Donny suggests seeking advice from individuals you admire and who have experience, such as your parents, and being accountable to them.
“Seek advice from people you respect, those who have walked the path before you, like your parents, and hold yourself accountable. Also, do your research and diversify your investments to ensure growth, not just in one place but across different avenues,” he advises.
