Actress Shuvee Etrata clarified that she has no intention of coming between Donny Pangilinan and Belle Mariano, following renewed attention on her viral reaction during a birthday party where she appeared overly giddy upon seeing the actor.
During the press conference for the film Huwag Kang Titingin, members of the media revisited the moment and jokingly asked if she was planning to “agawin” Donny—drawing laughter and concern about possible backlash from DonBelle fans.
“Ay, grabe naman po ‘yung mag-aagaw talaga!” Shuvee responded.
She also took the opportunity to apologize to fans who may have been offended by her actions.
“Pero sa lahat ng DonBelle fans, gusto kong mag-sorry sa inyo, if I reacted that way. I’m so sorry if I’m always fangirling over Donny. I will do my best para pigilan na ang nararamdaman ko next time,” she said.
Shuvee emphasized that her admiration for Donny is purely that of a fan and nothing more.
“Pero he’s really just a crush. Wala pong chance na magka-level kami ni Donny. Kasi si Donny po ay isa nang kumikinang na bituin. Ako po ay papausbong pa lang po,” she added.
She also encouraged fans to remain respectful online.
“So sana po ay mag-enjoy lang tayo. Keep supporting kung DonBelle kayo. I hope you spread love. And be mindful with how you say your comments online. Kasi words can really be painful to some.
“But I know naman, as long as your intention is good, then patuloy lang po magmahalan tayong lahat,” she said.
Despite this, Shuvee admitted she would still be open to working with Donny if given the opportunity, even joking about how it might affect her performance.
“Pero kung may trabaho, kahit anong trabaho, tatanggapin natin yan. Hindi ko lang alam, baka yung taping days, instead na 10, magiging 20, kasi hindi ako makaarte. Hahaha!” she quipped.
Shuvee has a special participation in Huwag Kang Titingin, directed by Frasco Mortiz.
