As the saying goes, the fish is caught by its own mouth.
This may hold true for Belle Mariano who inadvertently confirmed her relationship with her loveteam partner, Donny Pangilinan.
Mariano and Pangilinan recently appeared as guests on Darla Sauler’s YouTube channel segment, ‘Bag Raid.’
In the episode that aired on Sunday, July 9, the video not only provided viewers with a glimpse inside the young Kapamilya star’s bag but also featured a memorable slip of the tongue. Mariano accidentally referred to Donny as “babe.”
Towards the end of the video, a staff member holding a toy called ‘lato-lato’ approached Donny in front of the camera. It was during this moment that Mariano said, “Babe, try the lato-lato.”
Although it seemed like none of the staff members noticed Mariano’s affectionate term for Pangilinan and they continued playing the lato-lato game with Darla, several netizens with keen ears caught on to it. Consequently, the imperative “BABE TRY MO YUNG LATO LATO” started trending on Twitter Philippines.
The Twitter account @kowalerts tweeted, “We heard it, guys! ‘BABE TRY MO YUNG LATO LATO.'”

@supergirlmac, meanwhile, joked that he/she’s no longer irritated with kids playing lato-lato after DonBelle’s kilig moment with lato-lato.
“May naglato lato sa kapitbahay, di na ko naiinis ngayon haha BABE TRY MO YUNG LATO LATO ”

@chemken_18 on the other hand thanked Darla and the lato-lato for being instrumental in indirectly revealing DonBelle’s relationship.
“Hahaha ang tugon ng lahat: Thank you Ms. Darla sa bag raid kay belle at sa nato nato, este sa lato lato ”
