Atasha Muhlach’s School Allowance is Only P100
ATASHA MUHLACH – The “Eat Bulaga” host’s revelation that her school allowance was only ₱100 drew numerous reactions and comments from netizens, surprising her co-hosts and “Peraphy” guest, financial expert-speaker-book author Chinkee Tan.
Vic Sotto inquired about her school allowance during her student days. Chinkee was surprised when Atasha disclosed the amount.
Chinkee even joked whether it might be in dollars, or $100. But she confirmed it was indeed in pesos. This sparked a discussion among netizens. They praised Aga Muhlach and Charlene Gonzales for how well they raised their children, Atasha and Andres.
Netizens have expressed admiration for the upbringing Aga Muhlach and Charlene Gonzales provided for their children, Atasha and Andres, particularly after Atasha revealed her modest school allowance of ₱100, despite their family’s financial capability.
This has sparked discussions about the values instilled in them, as their behavior, respect, and courtesy reflect their parents’ influence. Some comments highlighted the normalcy and equality they experienced abroad, appreciating the special treatment in the Philippines even more. Others shared their own experiences with minimal allowances, emphasizing resilience and resourcefulness, such as selling snacks at school to supplement meager funds.
Meanwhile, Atasha Muhlach is a Filipino celebrity, known primarily as the daughter of two of the Philippines’ popular entertainment figures, Aga Muhlach and Charlene Gonzales. Aga Muhlach is a well-known actor in the Filipino film industry, and Charlene Gonzales is a former beauty queen (Miss Universe 1994 finalist) and television host.
Atasha has a twin brother named Andres. Despite their high-profile background, both Atasha and her brother have been relatively shielded from the media by their parents, allowing them to have a normal upbringing as much as possible. The twins have occasionally appeared in public or media events with their parents and have attracted attention due to their parents’ fame, but they have largely been kept out of the spotlight to focus on their education and personal growth.
