Andres Muhlach sent hearts fluttering on May 19 after posting a heartfelt birthday message for his Ang Mutya ng Section E co-star and on-screen partner Ashtine Olviga.

In a short but kilig-filled Instagram Story, Andres wrote: “Hi Ash, of course won’t let this day pass without greeting you. Happy birthday to my mutya.”

He followed it up with another message, calling her by her character’s name from their hit Viva One series: “Happy birthday, Jay-jay.”

The birthday love didn’t end on Instagram.
During a virtual interview on the same day, Andres shared a heartfelt tribute to Ashtine: “Deserve mo lahat ng nangyayari sa buhay mo ngayon. You know, the way you treat people around you is talagang nakakahanga. The type of person that you are is super impressive. Lahat ng maganda at mabuti sa buhay mo, mangyayari talaga.”
He capped it off with a touching note: “I will always be here for you. Happy birthday.”
Ashtine celebrated her 26th birthday on May 19, riding high on the success of ‘Ang Mutya ng Section E’, where she plays the lead role of Jay-jay Mariano. The digital series has become a breakthrough project for the rising Viva artist, propelling her into the spotlight and gaining a growing fan base both locally and abroad.
Aside from acting, Ashtine is also making waves in the beauty scene. She recently launched Ash Scent Beyond Gender, a unisex Eau de Parfum created in collaboration with Viva Beauty Corporation. The scent embodies her personal style: boldly authentic, quietly confident, and unafraid to break gender norms.
