It's 'It Girl' Atasha Muhlach's Turn in the Spotlight

The spotlight is big enough for all—and Atasha Muhlach is ready to claim her side of the stage.

After her twin brother Andres Muhlach's breakout performance in the wildly popular "Ang Mutya ng Section E," all eyes are now turning toward Atasha. And from the looks of it, she's more than ready. Tash, long admired for her poise, beauty, and brains, is stepping confidently—with a legacy to honor and a name to elevate. Of course, it's backed up by her hard work.

We visited Atasha just before the Holy Week break on the set of the trending TV5 sitcom "Da Pers Family." I was told she had to be woken up because she was doing back-to-back tapings for "Bad Genius" and "Da Pers" when we got in. Now, after having been covering entertainment news for more than a decade, we do understand how exhausting it could be for an actor to go through hours of scenes and two shows at that. We were expecting Tash to be up in the next hour or so.

But lo and behold, after just 10 minutes of standby and setting up, the production of the show woke up Tash and there she was, so game and humble. Despite her showbiz pedigree and fast-rising profile, Atasha remains remarkably down-to-earth, greeting us with her positive energy, even grateful for the visit.
