The stars of the internationally acclaimed Viva One series, Ang Mutya Ng Section E, are finally making their highly anticipated big-screen debut. 
Viva Films proudly presents ‘Minamahal: 100 Bulaklak Para Kay Luna,’ written and directed by award-winning filmmaker Jason Paul Laxamana. Soon in cinemas nationwide.
From their breakout roles as Jay-Jay and Keifer, they quickly became fan favorites and one of the most talked-about young stars of today. The show’s trailer alone amassed 2 million views in 24 hours, signaling the beginning of a phenomenon. 
Its first two episodes collectively racked up over 3 million views, and the buzz hasn’t stopped since. What began as a classroom drama exploded into a full-fledged cultural phenomenon, with #JayFer trending across platforms, solidifying their status as the Philippines’ newest kilig pairing.
The series’ reach has gone global, gaining popularity across Asia, the Middle East, America, Europe, and Oceania, with fans creating online edits and memes that celebrate the show’s heart-fluttering moments. The announcement of Season 2 in May was met with overwhelming fan excitement, confirming their pairing’s meteoric rise.
With their loyal following and undeniable chemistry, Ashtine and Andres are poised to conquer even more hearts—this time on the big screen. From Jay-Jay and Keifer, get ready to meet Luna and Raffy in their first film together, ‘Minamahal: 100 Bulaklak Para Kay Luna,’ which promises all the kilig that fans have come to love.
The movie follows a lonely high school flower enthusiast, Raffy, who spends years trying to win over a jaded visual artist, Luna, by giving her flowers at significant times in her life. What starts as a sweet, high school crush blossoms into a heartfelt and complicated relationship that spans into college, where the realities of growing up test love.  
Just how many flowers will it take for a high school loner to reach the heart of someone who doesn’t believe in love? Watch as one boy tries to make something beautiful bloom… soon.
Officially unveiled on Friday, July 4, the 50-second teaser features Andres as Raffy quietly picking flowers in an open field—until his world slows down the moment he locks eyes with Ashtine’s Luna. The clip instantly captivated fans, racking up an astonishing 12 million views in just 24 hours. Now, all eyes are on them as they bring this love story to full bloom.
But before they bring kilig to the big screen, they will take to the stage as they headline the biggest fancon event of the year, Viva One: Vivarkada, featuring some of Viva’s fast-rising young stars, happening at the Smart Araneta Coliseum on Aug. 15.
Directing the phenomenal romantic movie is Jason Paul Laxamana, a master storyteller in the romance genre known for his emotionally rich and unforgettable films such as 100 Tula Para Kay Stella, Just a Stranger, and Expensive Candy. With his proven talent for capturing the raw, messy, and magical sides of love, Laxamana is the perfect director to shape their first love story on the big screen.
A celebration of young love, ‘Minamahal: 100 Bulaklak Para Kay Luna’ is a heartfelt coming-of-age romance that captures the magic of love, the ache of growing up, and the quiet power of persistence. 
With Ashtine Olviga and Andres Muhlach at the heart of it all, this film marks a new chapter for one of today’s most promising stars."Minamahal" will be shown in theaters soon.
