Aga Muhlach is giving his blessing to his twins, Atasha and Andres, should they decide to follow in his footsteps and enter showbiz after finishing their studies.
At present, Aga's twins with his wife Charlene Gonzalez-Muhlach are both studying abroad.
Atasha is completing her business program at a university in Nottingham, United Kingdom, while Andres is currently pursuing his Arts degree at a university in Spain.
While Aga is excited about his children's potential future in the entertainment industry, he acknowledges that the decision ultimately lies with Atasha and Andres.
"It's really their call kung babalik sila," Aga told PEP.ph (Philippine Entertainment Portal) in an exclusive interview during the media preview of Art Fair Philippines 2023 in Makati City last February 16, 2023.
"I assume they are both coming back and I think they... I think papasok sila sa industriya natin."
He reiterated, "That’s their call, hindi yun sa akin, desisyon nila yun."
Aga disclosed that Atasha has already received offers for projects, even months before she officially graduates from college.
He said, "She has some offers that are coming in and Andres also. But, we just try to let them finish [their studies] first..."
For now, the twins are only permitted to participate in photo shoots or endorsements that won't considerably affect their education.
He said, "Pag minsan, andito sila for summer, she does pictorial, mga ganun-ganon."
Did he ever dissuade his children from pursuing a career in showbiz?
Aga answered, "No, no! I cannot do that!"
He further explained, "I mean this is my hanap-buhay, so why will I discourage them?
"This is... ito yung industriya na bumuhay sa akin at bumuhay sa aming lahat.
"So ayun, I will never discourage them. Hanap-buhay ko ito, e."
The 53-year-old celebrity dad, however, reiterated the importance of allowing them to complete their education.
He said, "Finish college and then, sila magde-decide.
"Because alam naman nila na it’s not all glitz and glamour, its hard work also.
"It’s just nice to... parang at least kung ano man gawin nila, desisyon na nila yun."
