What is a game changer, and why are Bubblies fighting tooth and nail for DonBelle to be considered as such? Aside from the fact that we love Donny and Belle- that we can’t deny. It is undeniable that the impact they have in Philippine showbiz and culture is truly phenomenal and nothing short of game changing. Donny and Belle are game changers; let us count the ways.
Change The Way You Watch
of shows from ABS-CBN. There were a lot of uncertainties after the license of their home network has been denied its renewal, (after the franchise renewal of their home network has been denied by Congress) but Donny and Belle’s series revived hope that there is life beyond that bleak hiccup, that ABS can change the way we watch shows, that online platforms are a thing in the country, and ABS is leading the way thru Donny and Belle’s series. Not only that, they paved the way for the network to produce more shows for more artists, thereby helping generate jobs for staff, crew, and actors. They changed the way we watch from being TV junkies to computer and cell phone series watchers.

Game Changers Inspire Love
Bubblies are not just a group of ordinary
supporters. They have become a community, albeit a family in the short span of
time they have banded together for fangirling over DonBelle. The mere amount of
assistance going around the groups are amazing. They help out through giveaways-from
tickets to load and transportation funds. Bubblies want their co-fans to
experience killig together.
Over and beyond that, Bubblies have been assisting each other
in more ways than one, from help for personal financial crises to family
problems and love problems. They have become sounding boards for each other.
Bubblies surely have a bond that goes beyond the fangirling adventures. And
that is love. It expands beyond Donny and Belle and even beyond their works to
forge ties that can make a difference in people’s lives.

Belle, on the one hand, was handed the Seoul Drama Award Outstanding
Asian Star. True, votes have won her the award, but the nomination has been all
due to her sterling performance as Maxpein Del Valle. The nomination is done by a panel
of experts- culled from the academe to entertainment network giants from
different parts of the globe from Asia to Europe. And Donny has been nominated
as well, proving that they are both world-class talents.
Belle made quite an impression as she was covered in different Korean and international news:

Game Changers Cross the Great Divide
Have you seen the composition of the Bubblies?
They are not from just one demographics. The age group alone is diverse from
young kids belting out Belle’s songs. Mind you, you know an artist has made it
if kids have memorized their songs. Lolas and Lolos have also been in attendance during the HIH All Access Concert.
You know that they are game changers if they can move people from different
socio-economic backgrounds. The fan base is not concentrated in one area. In
fact, DonBelle Engagement Patrol alone has members from all three major island
groups of the Philippines and even Malaysia. Not to mention DonBelle has fans
from Brazil and Indonesia. Game changers can catch the eye of a diverse group
of people.

Game Changers Inspire
Over and beyond giving us kilig, DonBelle each
has songs that can inspire their followers. Rise is a good motivation song for
those who are striving with their dreams. Donny’s Wings on the one hand, can
lift up the spirits of those going through emotional turmoil. Their songs are
not just love songs. Their songs can touch the lives of people. They have become
the voice in the dark for some of us. Brightening up our days and nights with
even just the tiny nudge to say you can do it. You can make it. Just hang in
there. There is no need for complicated messages, just beautiful harmonies
laced with words of encouragement can make the day of their followers.

Game Changers Move People
DonBelle has been trending for their projects or
just because the Bubblies have been too engrossed with their discoveries about
them. There are planned Twitter Parties, but there also ones that are
spontaneous. And boy, do they shake the trends! For one, some planned ones have
even reached millions like the last Christmas special and the Media Con, but
the spontaneous ones are not to be outdone as they reach the top of the list in
no time with the sheer ferocity with which Bubblies are talking about them.
People who can move people to do spontaneous Twitter Parties in the middle of a
workday or a school day are definitely game changers.

Game Changers Crash Apps
For one, the premiere of He’s Into Her Season 1
was so successful that the iWant app crashed because it surpassed the normal
users expected, and it also made the app most downloaded for that day. As if
that was not enough, DonBelle crashed the payment gateway apps of Kumu. During
the Kilig Match which is organized to raise funds for victims of Typhoon
Odette, Donny and Belle who were in the middle of lock-in taping took time out
from their busy sked to be a part of the segment. Bubblies and Solids supported
them and was so ready that the Diamonds freeze at that time only to realize
that Kumu’s payment gateway crashed with the amount of transactions coming in
at the same time. No other group or individual reached 32M Diamonds much less
crash the app only to get fixed the following day.

Game Changers Move to Make the World a Better Place in Their Own Way
We know that they can
inspire people, but they also have advocacies of their own. Donny supports “Called
to Rescue Philippines” and uses his fame to get the message across that human
trafficking is a big problem and those who are rescued need help. In fact, he
has also been lending his time and talent by shooting something for them that
will be out soon. Not all ministries require money, and he also shows that developing
relationships with those in Bahay Pag- asa in Dasmarinas, Cavite can also help
them. He has bonded with them as he spares time to play basketball and do stuff
with them.

Belle, on the
other hand, partnered with Whisper to raise awareness on the problems of
women’s health and stigma of menstrual issues. She also helped with the
campaign to raise funds to help send feminine hygiene products including
sanitary pads to help communities assisted by World Vision.
