After making his debut as actor in “Da Pers Family,” a sitcom which also stars his twin Ataska as with his famous parents Aga Muhlach and Charlene Gonzales, Andres Muhlach is finally striking out on his own, headlining “Ang Mutya Ng Section E,” an adaptation of the hit Wattpad story by Lala Flores soon to stream on Viva One.
“To be honest, I’m excited but really nervous as well,” said Andres. “There’s huge pressure talaga pero like my parents told me, I just have to do my best and have fun along the way.”
In the series directed by Theodore Boborol, Andres will play the role of Mark Keifer Watson, class president of Section E. Though brainy, this is overshadowed by the fact that he can be quite a bully.
On the receiving end of his frosty behavior is a girl named Jay-Jay Mariano, played by Ashtine Olviga.
This is Ashtine’s biggest break.
She started her career as singer way back but ultimately found her stride as actress.
“I am just so happy to be part of the series. I’m so grateful for the trust that Viva gave me. Hope I would eventually make them proud,” she said.
To add more tension to the story is Rabin Angeles as Yuri.
Just like Andres and Ashtine, he wants to make the most of the opportunity.
“I’ve appeared in some projects in the past pero ito talaga ang pinakamalaki kong role so far,” he related. “We will all do our best to make this a hit for sure.”
The rest of Section E are: Charles Law as Ci-N, Frost Sandoval as David, Keagan De Jesus as Felix, Ethan David as Felix, Kurt Delos Reyes as Eman, Martin Venegas as Denzel, Nic Galvez as Kit, Daniel Ong as Mayo, AJ Ferrer as Rory, Sam Shoaf as Edrix, Michael Keith as Eren, Kyosu Guinto as Josh, Yanyan De Jesus as Drew, and Derick Ong as Blaster.
Also part of the cast are Viva’s promising young stars Andre Yllana and Heart Ryan, with veteran actors Yayo Aguila, Katya Santos, Nanette Inventor, and Lander Vera Perez.
