A month after becoming a certified fitness instructor, Magkaagaw actress Lovely Abella is adding another title to her list: receiving the coveted Silver Play Button Award from YouTube.
On Monday, July 6, Lovely showcased her trophy with fiance Benj Manalo as they reached the 100,000 subscriber mark in the video-sharing platform under the username, BenLy -- a portmanteau of their names.
She wrote, “Mga pangga at mga kapitbahay dahil sa inyo yan.
“Salamat sa sayang ipinagkaloob n'yo sa amin! Dahil diyan lalo namin kayong pasasayahin. Salamat at sa simple way [na ito] natatanggal ang mga stress niyo sa amin.
“Sa aking forever partner, salamat at nakikisabay ka sa lahat ng kalokohan ko, iisa talaga tayo. Apir babe @benj.”
While reaching 100,000 subscribers is a huge milestone, Lovely shared that it's the love that she's received from making these videos that's more important.
“Hindi 'yun sa laki ng numbers kung di sa dami 'yun ng mga totoong nagmamahal sa BenLy!
“Kaya tuloy-tuloy lang ang panonood ng #PanggaStories namin. #BenLy for life!”
For his part, Benj also thanked their viewers for constantly tuning in to their hilarious vlogs.
Saying, “Maraming salamat talaga sa lahat ng nagmamahal sa BenLy.
“Ngayon lang talaga namin naramdaman na lahat kayo na kapitbahay namin at mga pangga namin, e, mahal na mahal kami. Salamat po at para sa inyo po ito!”
He also penned a sweet message to Lovely and said, “Konti-konti natin nari-reach ang goals natin sa buhay ng sabay.
“Salamat dahil talagang team tayo. I love you baby ko!”
As of this writing, Lovely and Benj's account “BenLy” has over 212,000 subscribers on YouTube since starting in 2018.
