In a world where on-screen romance often masks real emotion, Ashtine Olviga and Andres Muhlach are ready to reveal what truly makes their hearts beat.

Fans of the rising love team AshDres (Ashtine Olviga and Andres Muhlach) are in for a treat with their much-anticipated big-screen debut, Minamahal: 100 Bulaklak Para Kay Luna. But beyond the flowers, the gazes, and the kilig-inducing moments, what do these young stars really think about love?

Spoiler alert: their real-life views might just melt your heart — or make you rethink your own definition of love.

Real-Life vs. Reel Love: Where Do AshDres Stand?

In their upcoming film directed by Jason Paul “JP” Laxamana — known for 100 Tula Para Kay Stella — the story follows Raffy (Andres), a shy high schooler with a passion for flowers, who spends years trying to win the heart of Luna (Ashtine), a hardened visual artist who no longer believes in love.

But at a recent press conference, when asked about their own beliefs on love, the two stars gave answers that were refreshingly sincere.

“Love is one of the most powerful things in the world,” said Andres. “In everything we do — in our passions, in our dreams — love plays a role. Without it, we can’t move forward.”

Ashtine, whose character Luna is skeptical about romance, couldn’t be further from her role in real life. “I truly believe in love,” she said with a smile. “When you give love, you radiate positive energy. It changes how you see the world.”

Love Languages, Big Gestures, and Everything in Between

Ashtine and Andres also opened up about their love languages, a key topic that fans love to dissect. Andres said his is acts of service, explaining that he appreciates it most when someone does something without being told. “It really makes me happy when someone does something out of thoughtfulness,” he said. “Even I love doing small things for people. That’s how I show love.”

Ashtine believes in embracing all five love languages: words of affirmation, quality time, gift-giving, acts of service, and physical touch. “I think we all need a mix of everything,” she explained. “Sometimes we seek what we don’t receive, and I feel like we need to give and receive all of them.”

When asked what they’re willing to give for love, Andres said, after a thoughtful pause, “Everything.” Ashtine agreed, noting, “If you give everything you have for love, there are no regrets.”

What They Love About Each Other — And It’s Not What You Expect

Their admiration for each other goes far beyond the screen. Ashtine shared that what she admires most about Andres is his thoughtfulness, saying, “He’s kind to everyone, without choosing who deserves it. That’s rare.”

Andres, in return, praised Ashtine’s simplicity and grounded nature. “She’s super humble, down-to-earth, and never shows any attitude. She’s always nice to everyone,” he said. “She just goes with the flow.”

The Buzz Behind the Scenes: ‘Organic Chemistry’ On and Off Camera

Director JP Laxamana, who also crafted 100 Tula Para Kay Stella, couldn’t help but praise the natural chemistry between the two stars. “It’s organic,” he said. “Even without cameras, the closeness is there. It’s real. That’s something you can’t fake.”

In just 24 hours, the 50-second teaser for Minamahal racked up 12 million views — proof that fans feel the authenticity too.

A Cinematic Universe of Emotion?

JP Laxamana confirmed that Minamahal: 100 Bulaklak Para Kay Luna shares emotional DNA with his previous hit. “It’s not a direct sequel to 100 Tula Para Kay Stella, but it shares the same emotional core — love mixed with the bittersweet reality of growing up,” he explained.

In a sweet twist, Andres’ father, Aga Muhlach, once starred in May Minamahal, a classic romantic drama that helped define 90s Filipino cinema. While purely coincidental, JP Laxamana believes it makes the project feel even more destined.

The Countdown Begins: Why You Shouldn’t Miss This Film

AshDres will also headline the Viva One: Vivarkada Fancon on August 15 at the Smart Araneta Coliseum — a milestone moment for their careers and for fans alike.

But the real spotlight is on Minamahal, a film that doesn’t just entertain. It makes you reflect on the things we give, the people we choose, and the moments we remember. With its themes of love, loss, and the journey to adulthood, it promises to stay with audiences long after the credits roll.

So… Do You Believe in Love Like AshDres Do?

Whether you’re a hopeless romantic, a skeptic like Luna, or someone somewhere in between — Minamahal: 100 Bulaklak Para Kay Luna offers something real, raw, and unforgettable.

Don’t miss this film. Because sometimes, one story — or one flower — is all it takes to remind you what love really means.
