What do you get when you mix a rising film tandem, a well-loved duet, and a whole lot of musical chemistry? The answer: Ashtine Olviga and Andres Muhlach’s version of “Minamahal”— a refreshing reimagining of Earl Agustin and Dana Paulene’s heartfelt track that first melted its way into listeners’ playlists.

Originally penned and performed as a sweet and soaring love song, “Minamahal” gets a cinematic glow-up in the hands (and voices!) of Ashtine and Andres. Their version doesn’t just stay true to the original, it leans into the kilig factor with their undeniable on-screen charm and vocal chemistry. Imagine a duet that doesn’t just sound like love, but feels like it’s straight out of a movie scene (which, spoiler alert, it kind of is).

Musically, their rendition leans into a softer, more romantic production, wrapping listeners in dreamy instrumentals while letting their vocals take center stage. Ashtine’s delicate yet confident tone pairs perfectly with Andres’ warm and grounded delivery, creating a yin-yang balance that makes the song feel brand new. It’s the kind of track you’ll want to play on repeat whether you’re hopelessly in love, pining, or just vibing with your headphones on.

With this version, Ashtine and Andres not only honor Earl and Dana’s modern OPM gem, but they also carve their own sonic space — one that showcases their artistry beyond the screen. Whether you’re already a fan of the original or you’re just discovering “Minamahal” for the first time, this version is proof that some songs are so good, they deserve multiple love stories.
