SIMPLE lang ang naging selebrasyon ng 23rd birthday ng kambal nina Aga Muhlach at Charlene Gonzalez na sina Atasha at Andres noong November 5.

Ani Andres, buong araw lang silang nagkwentuhan sa sala ng bahay ng isang tita niya sa Subic.

“We were in the beach lang and we spent the whole time together as a family. Whole day as in nasa living room lang kami and we just spoke in our tita’s place in Subic. So parang we just stayed there, we were in the living room lang the whole day from mga 11 a.m. up to 3 in the morning. We were just talking like us four. Kami lang and that’s how i spent my birthday. And then the next day, me and my dad, we were able to play golf,” kwento niya sa mediacon ng bagong Viva One series na “Ang Mutya ng Section E,” kung saan isa siya sa mga bida.

Speaking of the series, adaptation ito ng Wattpad story na may parehong titulo at isinulat ni  Lara Flores, a.k.a. Eatmore2behappy.

Gagampanan dito ni Andres ang papel ni Keifer, ang class president ng Section E na may pagka-bully at karibal ni Yuri (Rabin Angeles) kay Jay-Jay (Ashtine Olviga ng PPop Generation).

Ayon sa kanya, “I’m just excited talaga, I’m really happy. I feel really blessed talaga and I’m grateful na I get to work with a great cast, a great director also, Direk Ted (Theodore Boborol). And then

I also just got the opportunity to meet the writer ng Ang Mutya ng Section E, so siyempre, nakilig ako nang ‘onti. I had her even sign my physical book so I’m just really happy talaga po. I’m reading it for the show.

Kiefer, class president of Section E. Siya rin ‘yung hari ng mga ulupong, ‘yan ang nickname niya. And siya ay isang ‘bully,’ may pagka-bully nang ‘onti but out of protection and out of… be protective of his loved ones. He’s a bully talaga but his reasons are justified kasi it’s more on protecting the people that he’s with everyday, which is the Section E.”

At 23, inamin ni Andres na hindi pa sumasagi sa isipan niya ang pagkakaroon ng lovelife. As it is, mas focused siya sa career tulad ng taping para sa family sitcom nilang “Pers Family” para sa Viva

TV at TV5, at “Ang Mutya ng Section E,” na mapapanood sa Viva One soon.

“I’m just really more focused po sa trabaho ko and, you know, I just wanna do good talaga.
