Viva artist Ashtine Olviga rises to stardom as ‘Jayjay’ in Wattpad-adapted series ‘Ang Mutya ng Section E’
Ashtine Olviga is relatively new yet starting to create buzz. She’s charting a course toward popularity nationwide (even worldwide), propelled by her lead role as “Jayjay” in the Wattpad-adapted series, “Ang Mutya ng Section E.” Sharing the screen with Andres Muhlach, she’s part of a phenomenon that’s rapidly gaining traction.
“Ang Mutya ng Section E” is seeing a surge in viewers, fueled by the chemistry of the AshDres pairing and a dedicated fanbase. This support has pushed the show, and its cast, into the spotlight, dominating online conversations and sparking fan gatherings worldwide. Viewers from Indonesia, Malaysia, Vietnam, India, and the Middle East are actively engaging with the series, posting their reactions across social media.
At the heart of this success is Ashtine, an artist with a musical background, a path familiar to Viva’s Boss Vic, who has a history of transforming singers like Sharon Cuneta, Regine Velasquez, and Sarah Geronimo into leading actresses.
The Music Pathway
Ashtine’s entertainment journey began in 2016 with Viva’s “Born to Be a Star” competition. While she didn’t secure the top spot, the experience opened doors, leading her into the burgeoning P-Pop scene.
She was a member of UGG (U Go Girls) in 2017, PPop Generation (Team A) in 2019, and LITZ in 2022. Though she found success in these groups, her potential as an actress began to emerge.
Film Appearances
Her acting career started with a role in the 2018 film “Miss Granny,” starring Sarah Geronimo, a fitting beginning given her current trajectory. She then appeared in supporting roles in films like “Will You Be My Ex” (2023) with Julia Barretto and “The Ship Show” (2023) with Marco Gallo and Heaven Peralejo.
Further roles followed in ensemble films such as the horror movie “Marita” (2023) alongside Louise Delos Reyes and Rhen Escaño, and “Roadtrip” (2024), where she portrayed the younger version of Gelli De Belen. She also appeared as young Sunshine Dizon in the Philippine adaptation of “Sunny” (2024), with Vina Morales, Angelu De Leon, Heaven Peralejo, and Bea Binene.
The Lead Role
Her casting as “Jayjay” in “Ang Mutya ng Section E,” a decision made by Boss Vic, has solidified her position as a rising star. The planned three-season series promises to further cement her celebrity.
Ashtine expresses gratitude for the fans and the opportunities she’s received. Her social media presence has experienced significant growth, with followers doubling on platforms like Facebook (1.1M), Instagram (1M), and TikTok (4.2M).
With each episode of “Ang Mutya ng Section E” trending, Ashtine’s transition from singer to actress is unfolding before audiences.
