Atasha Muhlach at Charlene Gonzales
KNOWS n’yo ba na noong bata pa siya ay paniwalang-paniwala si Atasha Muhlach na totoong may mga sirena?
Kapag ipinakikita raw sa kanya noon ang mga litrato ng kanyang nanay na si Charlene Gonzales na nakasuot ng mermaid costume ay amazed na amazed siya.
Gumanap na sirena ang aktres at dating beauty queen sa pelikulang “Dyesebel” noong 1996 at ang mga litrato raw ni Charlene na kuha sa nasabing pelikula ang ipinakikita kay Atasha ng kanyang mommy at daddy na si Aga Muhlach.
“They would show me photos of my mom on the sea with a tail. They would tell me, ‘Look, your mom is a mermaid’ And my dad (Aga) would go, ‘It’s true.’
“So, whenever we would go swimming in Taal Lake, I would think, at any point, I’m going to transform into a mermaid. Of course, the older I got, the realization was mermaids are not real,” natatawang kuwento ng dalaga.
Humarap ang anak nina Aga at Charlene sa ilang members ng entertainment media kamakalawa para sa contract signing niya sa Viva Artists Agency kasama sina Boss Vic del Rosario, Vincent del Rosario, Val del Rosario, Veronique del Rosario at Verb del Rosario.
Ngayong pinasok na nga ni Atasha ang mundo ng showbiz, hindi imposibleng siya naman ang susunod na gumanap bilang Dyesebel.
Ayon kay Atasha, isinantabi muna niya ang matagal na niyang pangarap na mag-showbiz upang tapusin ang kanyang pag-aaral tulad nga ng ipinangako niya sa mga magulang.
“I always tried my best and made sure I did my best in school. But when they saw that I’m ready, they said, ‘Go, spread your wings and fly.’

“My dad has been nothing but supportive and so does my mom,” aniya pa.
Super excited na si Atasha sa pagsisimula ng bagong yugto ng kanyang buhay, “This is something that I’ve always wanted to do ever since I was 10 years old when I did ‘The Sound of Music’ (Broadway musical na ginanap sa Resorts World Manila noong 2011).
“That was when I realized I really do love to perform. I love to sing. I love to just smile. But I realized I had to prioritize my studies,” sabi ng dalaga.
“Personally, I really would love to try everything. I sing, I would like to dance, I perform and I’m willing to act. I don’t really want to close my doors on anything, but as of now, I’m just taking it one step at a time,” dagdag pa ng anak nina Aga at Charlene.
Bukod sa mga naka-line up na acting projects para sa kanya ng Viva, magri- release muna siya ng kanyang debut single bago bumalik sa UK para sa kanyang graduation.
“Next week, I’m recording a single. Anything that’s very light and very happy, I’m open to all types of genres. I want to challenge myself and learn different types of genres, projects and ideas,” sabi pa ng dalaga.
Isa sa mga idol ni Atasha sa local entertainment industry ay si Mr. Pure Energy Gary Valenciano, “His voice is amazing and his songs are beautiful. You really feel the emotions when he sings.”
Samantala, proud mommy naman si Charlene sa kanyang anak na nag-post pa sa Instagram upang ibandera ang pagsuporta ng kanilang pamilya sa pagpasok ni Atasha sa showbiz.
“When you were growing up and whenever we would talk or do any form of art whether it was painting, acting, doing school plays, doing commercials, singing, playing the instruments & dancing.
“Your eyes would always light up. I remember the first time you stepped on the stage at the age of 10 years old when you played the role of Brigitta in ‘The Sound of Music.’
“We knew that entertainment was something you always dreamed of and will be part of you someday. Now that you are finished with your studies. You can now fully chase your dreams.
“We are so happy and proud to have a loving and caring daughter like you. Your mom and dad will forever support you.. We love you and share your excitement as you take your first step into the entertainment world.
“We are excited to see what the future has in store for you. We thank our Viva family for embracing you and caring for you with open arms. Viva will always have a special place in our hearts.
“Your dad and mom’s first movie was done with Viva Films and soon your first movie will be with Viva films as well. To see you continue and start your career with them gives us the utmost joy,” mensahe ni Charlene kay Atasha.
