It seems Atasha Muhlach may unwittingly have put her celebrity parents on the spot during an episode of Eat Bulaga!'s "Peraphy" game!
During the segment that aired on April 19, 2024, she sought tips from episode guest Chinkee Tan, a wealth management coach, on how students can best handle their school allowance.

In the variety show segment, Atasha asked Chinkee for his advice on how students can properly save money.
As a response, Chinkee said, "Kailangan, number one, wag kang magdadala ng pera na higit sa budget mo. Kung ang budget mo ay P300 lang, 'yan ang ilagay mo sa wallet mo."
Vic Sotto, who was with the panel onstage, reacted that P300 seemed like a large amount for a student allowance. Segment co-host Miles Ocampo quipped, "Fifty lang kami dati eh."
This prompted Vic to ask Atasha: "Ikaw ba, magkano baon mo noon?"
The 22-year-old celebrity daughter of Aga Muhlach and Charlene Gonzalez softly answered, "100 pesos," which prompted a reaction from Chinkee.
"Wow! Grabe ha. Sino mga magulang mo? Parang gusto ko ipa-barangay," he exclaimed, drawing laughter from the audience. Atasha responded, "Sila yung kaibigan mo po."
Chinkee, however, was still in disbelief and jokingly asked if this was in dollars. Atasha laughed and clarified: "Hindi, pesos. Seryoso."
It was all in the spirit of fun, of course. "Peraphy" is a game segment on Eat Bulaga! where oversized cards challenge the mental-telepathy skills of a studio audience member or a special celebrity guest.

Atasha's dad, Aga, previously talked about how he teaches his kids financial management.
In an interview with Vice Ganda last February, Aga related how his twin children Atasha and Andres Muhlach, learned to budget their expenses while studying abroad for college.
Aga explained that the twins prudently handled their allowance while studying in Europe—Atasha for her business program at Nottingham in the United Kingdom and Andres for his Arts degree at a university in Spain.
According to their dad, the twins' allowances were limited, and they weren't allowed to ask for more if they weren't properly budgeted. "Kung anong ginastos nila roon at naubos nila, wala silang kakainin. Hindi sila puwede tumawag sa akin."
He also revealed that this practice has shaped his children's responsible habits: "So now, even with them growing up, 'di sila humihingi ng pera. Nahihiya sila."
