Andres Muhlach takes on the role of Kiefer, the class president of Section E; Ashtine Olviga plays Jay-Jay, the "mutya" of Section E; and Rabin Angeles as Yuri, the "third party" who will add tension to the story.

"Ang Mutya ng Section E" is Viva One's adaptation of the Wattpad story of the same title, written by Lara Flores, a.k.a. Eatmore2behappy. The series is helmed by Theodore Boborol.

At an earlier presscon, Andres offered that he is similar to Kiefer in real life because he is also protective of the people that he cares about.

"And for me, I'm similar in the sense that I'm very loyal to and protective of the people that I love the most, which are my family and my friends," he said.

More than feeling pressured, the showbiz heir-turned-acting newcomer is "more excited to start the show and experience" it as well.

He promised to portray Kiefer "in the most accurate way that I can from the book."

Andres further told The STAR that he doesn't want to disappoint the fans.
