<p>After first working together on the popular high school series <em>He’s Into Her</em> in 2021, Kapamilya star Donny Pangilinan shared what has changed and progressed with his working relationship with love team partner Belle Mariano. The two now star in the ABS-CBN and Original Viu series <em>How to Spot a Red Flag</em> which is now available to watch on the popular streaming app.</p><p>“To be honest, dati nung nag-sa-start pa kami, hindi namin na-ge-gets yung emotions ng isa’t isa, yung ibibigay ng isang character sa isang eksena, yung give and take. But you know, after working with each other, I think after this specific series, yes we would be rehearsing lines and stuff or yung actions for the most part, and direk (Dwein Baltazar) really allowed us to have this free space that whatever happens na lang sa eksena yun na yung mangyayari.</p><p>&quot;Kasi kung masyado mong ire-rehearse yung mga kilig at tingin, hindi magiging natural. So parang mas na-fi-feel na lang namin yung scene. We’re just being in that scene,” he shared during the show’s recent media event last November 25 in Quezon City.</p><div><br/></div><div><iframe class="instagram-media instagram-media-rendered" id="instagram-embed-8" src="https://www.instagram.com/reel/DC4Z2QHS1tb/embed/captioned/?cr=1&amp;v=14&amp;wp=446&amp;rd=https%3A%2F%2Fod2-workbench-web.abs-cbn.com&amp;rp=%2F#%7B%22ci%22%3A8%2C%22os%22%3A14103202%7D" allowtransparency="true" allowfullscreen="" frameBorder="0" height="1004" data-instgrm-payload-id="instagram-media-payload-8" scrolling="no" style="background:white;max-width:540px;width:calc(100% - 2px);border-radius:3px;border:1px solid rgb(219, 219, 219);box-shadow:none;display:block;margin:0px 0px 12px;min-width:326px;padding:0px"></iframe></div><script async="" src="//www.instagram.com/embed.js"></script><div><br/></div><p>In the series, Donny brings to life the role of a charismatic boy-next-door type of guy who tries to win the affection of a spunky barista named Cha (played by Belle Mariano) while catfishing her.</p><p>“Si Matt naman bright, he’s a very bright guy, charming, and loving. Yung kilig hindi na-re-rehearse yun siyempre.  Siyempre kami ni Belle, sobrang genuine lang namin sa isa’t isa. Lahat ng pinapakita namin siyempre na-fi-feel talaga namin. Get the ready for the more kilig scenes!” he added.</p><p>During the press event, Donny shared the story between a sweet moment caught off camera where he and Belle were exchanging coffee beans which delighted their fans.</p><p>“Parang nag-start siya na inabutan ako ng coffee bean ni Belinda. So after that, I gave men naman an ever smaller one tapos she gave me another smaller one. And then we just kept finding yung mas maliit na coffee bean. Hindi ko alam kung bakit namin ginagawa yun. Yun lang ginagawa namin. So random. Pero nasa akin pa rin yung coffee beans na binigay niya,” he recalled.</p><div><br/></div><div><iframe class="instagram-media instagram-media-rendered" id="instagram-embed-9" src="https://www.instagram.com/reel/DC0M5vyyvFL/embed/captioned/?cr=1&amp;v=14&amp;wp=446&amp;rd=https%3A%2F%2Fod2-workbench-web.abs-cbn.com&amp;rp=%2F#%7B%22ci%22%3A9%2C%22os%22%3A14104210.299999952%7D" allowtransparency="true" allowfullscreen="" frameBorder="0" height="1022" data-instgrm-payload-id="instagram-media-payload-9" scrolling="no" style="background:white;max-width:540px;width:calc(100% - 2px);border-radius:3px;border:1px solid rgb(219, 219, 219);box-shadow:none;display:block;margin:0px 0px 12px;min-width:326px;padding:0px"></iframe></div><script async="" src="//www.instagram.com/embed.js"></script><div><br/></div><p>The show also includes a talented cast of actors which include Mylene Dizon, Angel Aquino, Benjie Paras, and Christian Vasquez, among others.</p><p>“Sobrang love namin yung cast namin. We really take it to heart everything they say and we’re on the set, feel na feel namin yung good vibes talaga. To add to that, sa La Union pa kami nag-shu-shoot so para talaga kaming nasa bakasyon pero professional pa din. Alam mo yun, di namin nakakalimutan na we’re all there for a reason so we’re very blessed to have these amazing people with us,” Donny shared. </p><p>When asked to give advice on what to do when encountering a person who is a red flag, Donny explained that you always need to be open minded about the situation.</p><p>“I think very important kung mag-usap muna kayong dalawa kung ano yung dos and don’ts niyo or non-negotiables niyo para you guys are on the same page. Kasi sa pag-ibig madali ma-blinded eh. Kailangan may mga tao din sa paligid niyo na nagsasabi na iba ito or yung mga hindi mo masyado makikita at first pero yun pala red flag na. So always be open-minded into thinking, being genuine and honesty is a big part of this and just to be true to what you feel as well.</p><p><em>How to Spot a Red Flag</em> is the first Viu local original series between ABS-CBN and Viu after successful partnerships for the Philippine adaptations of <em>The Broken Marriage Vow, </em><em>Flower of Evil</em>, and <em>What’s Wrong with Secretary Kim</em>. The cast also includes Jameson Blake, Esnyr Ranollo, and Kira Balinger. Directed by Dwein Baltazar.</p>
