Lead stars Andres Muhlach and Ashtine Olviga—known as the rising loveteam AshDres—took to their Instagram accounts to thank their fans, their bosses, fellow cast and crew members, and their director Jason Paul Laxamana, following the strong box-office showing of Minamahal: 100 Bulaklak Para Kay Luna.
The film has managed to perform well despite coinciding with a series of national challenges in the country.
For Andres and Ashtine, working with Laxamana was nothing short of an honor, describing him as one of the most critically acclaimed and award-winning directors of his generation.
“To Direk JPL, thank you for guiding me through this, I owe you talaga!” Andres wrote.
Ashtine echoed the gratitude, saying: “Maraming salamat po for allowing us to learn and grow as artists by letting us be your co-creators in bringing your characters to life.”
Their fans, fondly called the Keepers, swooned over the pair’s sweet messages for each other.
Andres expressed his pride for his onscreen partner: “Lastly, Ash, I’m so proud of you and I know proud ka din. Deserve mo lahat ng blessings na nangyayari sa buhay mo ngayon… Continue chasing your dreams, Ash you know I’ll always be rooting for you.”
Ashtine, in turn, replied with her own heartfelt words: “Andres, meeting you has been such a blessing. I won’t deny that you’re one of the people who has truly helped me. Thank you for believing in me and appreciating me without making me feel like I need to put in extra effort.”
As of now, VIVA Films has yet to release official box-office figures. However, sources say the movie has earned an estimated ₱35 million in its first week, boosted by strong weekend turnout. If momentum continues, it could potentially reach the ₱60 million mark.
Currently on its second week, Minamahal: 100 Bulaklak Para Kay Luna is still showing in over 150 cinemas nationwide.
