Ramon Ang Breaks Silence on Atasha Muhlach and Son Jacob Ang’s Rumored Romance—Fans Can’t Stop Speculating

Is there more to the story between rising actress Atasha Muhlach and Jacob “Jake” Ang, the youngest son of business magnate and San Miguel Corporation (SMC) President Ramon Ang?

That’s the question on everyone’s mind, especially after Ramon Ang himself finally spoke publicly about the young actress who has been romantically linked to his son. And while the billionaire’s remarks were filled with praise, they’ve also left fans even more curious—and concerned—about what’s really going on.

“She’s a very nice lady.”

In a recent video clip released by Bilyonaryo News Channel, Ramon Ang had nothing but kind words for Atasha, the daughter of showbiz royalty Aga Muhlach and Charlene Gonzalez.

“Oh, si Atasha is a very nice lady. Napakabait at napakaganda. Sobra!” (“Atasha is a very nice lady. So kind and very beautiful—really!”), he said with a smile.

However, he quickly clarified the nature of her relationship with his son Jacob:

“Kaibigan lang ho [si Atasha] ng anak kong si Jacob.”
(“She’s just a friend of my son Jacob.”)

Still, the remark has done little to stop the whirlwind of speculation, especially since the internet has been buzzing with subtle clues and fan theories about the pair’s real status.

The Clues That Sparked It All

Rumors about a budding romance between Atasha and Jacob began to intensify after Jacob reposted the trailer of Bad Genius—Atasha’s new series on TV5—on his Instagram Story last June 15, 2025. The move didn’t go unnoticed: eagle-eyed fans quickly took screenshots and reposted them on TikTok.

One fan even asked in a viral post:

“Is Jacob the rumored boyfriend of Atasha Muhlach?”

That simple question opened the floodgates. Fans began examining their online activity—and found more hints.

Atasha and Jacob follow each other on Instagram.

Atasha has liked several of Jacob’s posts from January to May this year.

Even Atasha’s twin brother, Andres Muhlach, was seen liking Jacob’s posts.

And that’s not all.

According to one netizen, Jacob appeared in a group photo with Atasha and her family during a vacation in Hong Kong. The image was allegedly poste by Aga Muhlach himself—but was mysteriously deleted soon after.

Are They or Aren’t They?

Neither Atasha nor Jacob has confirmed or denied the dating rumors. In interviews, Atasha has avoided questions about whether she has a boyfriend or suitor.

But a PEP.ph source claimed to have frequently seen the two together since May 2025, observing that the two seemed to be “getting closer.”

Most recently, on July 29, PEP.ph reached out to someone close to Atasha and asked point-blank if she and Jacob are officially dating. The source declined to confirm anything.

Still, fans remain convinced that there’s more to the story—especially after Ramon Ang’s comment, which many feel was carefully worded but revealing.

Who is Jacob Ang?

Jacob Ang, also known as Jake, isn’t just the son of one of the Philippines’ most powerful businessmen—he’s carving out a name for himself in both business and racing.

According to Esquire Philippines’ May 2025 cover story, Jacob is the Special Assistant to the Chairman of SMC and holds multiple leadership roles across luxury automotive ventures:

Director and Chief Planning Officer of Velocita Motors Inc., the official importer and distributor of Ferrari in the Philippines.

Active in SMC Asia Car Distributors Corp, the importer and service provider for BMW Philippines.

Jacob is also known for his passion for motorsports and has represented the country in several international racing competitions.

With his elite background and Atasha’s growing prominence in showbiz, many fans see them as a potential “power couple”—if, of course, the relationship is real.

A Modern-Day Love Story or Just Good Friends?

Ramon Ang’s public praise for Atasha—calling her kind, beautiful, and “too nice”—has only added to the intrigue. Was it just a polite compliment? Or a subtle nod of approval?

More importantly, his clarification that they are “just friends” may be an effort to protect their privacy—or a genuine statement about their status.

Whatever the truth is, netizens are watching closely. Every Instagram like, every public appearance, and every deleted photo is now part of a puzzle that fans are eager to piece together.

And in the age of social media, where relationships are often soft-launched through stories and subtle likes, it may just be a matter of time before Atasha or Jacob confirms—or denies—the truth.

Until then, the public waits… and speculates.
