What began as a pairing in a Wattpad adaptation has evolved into a respected partnership, both on and off screen, for rising stars Andres Muhlach and Ashtine Olviga—collectively known as “AshDres.” Their bond is now blooming as they join forces in their much-anticipated film, Minamahal: 100 Bulaklak Para Kay Luna, set to be released on September 24.
Their journey together started with Ang Mutya ng Seksyon E, a Wattpad serial where Olviga portrayed Jay-Jay and Muhlach played Keifer. The duo quickly became fan favorites, their chemistry sparking excitement for future collaborations.
In an interview with Viva Trending, the two reflected on how their connection has deepened over time. Muhlach shared that Olviga’s presence sparked personal insights, saying, “She made me realize a lot of things.” Olviga, in turn, credited Muhlach’s wisdom and guidance, noting, “Marami rin akong natutunan sa kanya.” Their mutual appreciation points to a creative partnership that’s firmly rooted in respect and trust.
Their growing comfort is most evident in how they now approach romantic scenes. With several projects under their belts, on-screen intimacy no longer brings the earlier jitters—it’s become an effortless extension of their rapport.
To prepare for Minamahal, both actors immersed themselves in workshops aimed at honing their performances. Olviga steps into the role of Luna, a strong and independent woman, while Muhlach plays her counterpart, Raffy.
As anticipation builds for the film’s release, fans are eager to see how this matured pairing brings new depths to their characters and to their own evolving story—proof that the best love teams are those rooted in genuine connection and shared growth.
