EVEN though Atasha and Andres Muhlach have been in the limelight since they were young, they don’t consider Aga Muhlach and Charlene Gonzales as “stage parents,” but as “true-to-life parents” whom they look up to.
The Muhlachs joined forces in the family sitcom “Da Pers Family” which revolves around the Percival family’s journey to save their struggling bakery from closure. Just like their characters in the TV series, Atasha and Andres don’t consider their parents to be controlling, and would rather allow them to learn on their own terms.
“Our parents are not stage parents,” Andres told reporters at a media conference for the sitcom. “Our parents are [the type of people] whom you can spend your time with and you see every day. We see them as our loved ones who we look up to and idolize.”
Atasha said Aga and Charlene show “moral support” to them by imparting the wisdom they learned through their own experiences.
“They will always just guide us with everything. And they would never tell us what we did here or what we did wrong. It’s never about the work. It’s always about the moral support for them,” she said. “I wouldn’t say they’re stage parents. Just true-to-life parents who are very responsible, very kind, and warm-hearted people.”
When Aga and Charlene were asked if they had doubts about their children joining show biz, they pointed out that they have no qualms about allowing them to spread their wings. The actor also stressed that what Atasha and Andres decided to do was entirely up to them. (Hannah Mallorca © Philippine Daily Inquirer)
