He later starred in the hit series <em>Ang Mutya ng Section E </em>and the film <em>Minamahal</em>. Earlier this year, he also ventured into theater through <em>Bagets: The Musical.</em></p><p>In a March 2025 interview with PEP, Andres opened up about his transition into the entertainment industry after completing his studies in Spain.</p><p>“Coming from being in Spain and then, like, this being my first job as well, it&#x27;s really all new to me, and everything that I&#x27;ve experienced so far, it&#x27;s all been learning curves, I&#x27;d like to say,&quot; he shared.</p><p>The young actor also admitted feeling the pressure of carrying a well-known family name.</p><p>&quot;It&#x27;s a bit pressuring, for sure. There is that aspect that since he is who he is, he&#x27;s Aga Muhlach and he has this stature, then here I come, you know, his son,&quot; he confessed.</p><p>Despite the pressure, Andres said his biggest motivation is making his parents proud.</p><p>“Of course, I wouldn&#x27;t want to tarnish anything that he&#x27;s worked hard to do in his career. And for me, it&#x27;s more pressuring because I want to do good,&quot; he added. “I want to bring a good image to our last name, to our family name. And, overall, I just want to make both my parents proud.”</p>
