It brings Aga Muhlach and Charlene Gonzalez-Muhlach enormous satisfaction to see their children charting their own courses to achieve their dreams.
Their 22-year-old twins, Atasha and Andres, are both studying abroad.
Atasha is completing the last year of her business program at Nottingham in the United Kingdom, whereas Andres is pursuing his Arts degree at a university in Spain.

Aga admitted to PEP.ph (Philippine Entertainment Portal) that he and Charlene have been feeling the absence of Atasta and Andres at home, although they've come to terms with their long-distance set-up.
He said, "They come over for summer or Christmas, or if ever we visit them, so we’re okay.
"Plus, we were ready for that already because growing up, we knew already they’re studying abroad for college, so para mas madali na sa akin.
"It’s also nice you know that when you know your kids are doing well then that’s the start of happiness already."
In this short chat with PEP.ph on the side of the press preview of Art Fair Philippines 2023 on February 16, 2023, Aga said, laughingly, that the twins were "still learning" to be on their own.
"Natututo pa rin sila, so ganon lang," but on a serious note, he clarified, "There’s really no teaching them, you know, it’s them just really growing up with us.
"So, we were always there. It’s not really teaching them something...part of growing up."

AGA MUHLACH'S LE BAL EXPERIENCE
During the interview, PEP.ph inquired Aga about his time in Le Bal de Debutantes, dubbed "one of the most prominent and prestigious fashion and charitable balls in the world" held yearly in Paris, France.
Atasha was among the debutantes invited to Le Bal in November 2022, with Andres serving as his twin sister's escort.
Aga expressed, "It was nice, it was nice, It was, it was good for her [Atasha]. She made new friends!
"[I'm] just happy to have visited them and happy to experience it with Tasha and Andres...
"‘Cause we were never able to bring them to college, so that was the first time we visited them.
"It was nice, masaya. It’s always nice to see her, your children."
