Donny Pangilinan and Belle Mariano have finally met with few and lucky fans at the #CloserWithDonBelle Meet & Greet event organized by oral care brand closeup recently.

In June, the brand launched the loveteam as its freshest ambassadors in a Facebook watch party for the premiere of the music video of Closer, Belle’s latest music video as a recording artist.

The screen pair had their first meet and greet with fans in New York City last August during their Beyond the Stars US concert tour with other Star Magic talents.

This is their first meet and greet with fans in the Philippines.

During the event, everyone couldn’t help but feel butterflies as the onscreen couple spiritedly participated in games where they, together with fans, guessed missing lyrics from Belle’s song, figured out which one of them posted random and playful tweets and identified surprise items in a mystery box.

Fans were treated to a group interaction with Donny and Belle for the first time following their record-breaking series He’s Into Her.

Asked how they feel about being closeup’s freshest ambassadors, both stars answered, “Of course, we’re very much grateful especially because we got to do it together. From the first shoot of the music video, it was already so fun to do, remember?” says Donny before turning to Belle. “When I first heard the song, na-LSS na ako agad plus I get to sing it! So yes, we’re very thankful.”

The exclusive event welcomed 10 lucky winners from a promo launched last July which encouraged fans to purchase products from Unilever’s Lazada online store.

One fan even shared that she came all the way from Tuguegarao just to see her favorite loveteam.

Brand Manager Abby Pel also shared how grateful they are for having both DonBelle and their fans’ support when they initially launched the two as the new brand ambassadors.

“We hope you enjoyed this night as you got #CloserWithDonBelle! Please continue supporting closeup so you can help fight bacteria breath for all-day freshness.”

“To be part of this new family and their latest campaign to fight bacteria breath — of course oral hygiene is super important,” continues Donny. “Given our line of work, it’s very important for us to remain fresh.”

He also expresses appreciation for their fans’ support and emphasizes why seeing them in real life is incomparable.

“Your support is very much appreciated and seeing you guys in real life — there’s nothing like it. And, of course, thank you to closeup for having us because we also really want to see everyone,” which Belle agrees with. “(Yes), this moment is really special for the both of us,” she shares.
