Mark your calendars because the school bell is ringing early this year! Starting January 3, 2025, prepare for a whirlwind of excitement as Viva One presents the highly anticipated adaptation of “Ang Mutya ng Section E.” This beloved title, originally a sensation on Wattpad penned by Lara Flores (aka Eatmore2behappy), has captured the hearts of readers with over 348 million reads across its three-book series. The Viva One adaptation of Book 1 will unfold across 16 captivating episodes.

The grand cast reveal on November 8 created a buzz that lit up social media, with fans applauding the casting choices as some of the best seen in adaptations. The excitement is palpable as audiences eagerly await this comedic romp.

Leading the charge is showbiz royalty Andres Muhlach, stepping into the shoes of Mark Keifer Watson—Section E’s brilliant yet rebellious class president. With a penchant for mischief, Keifer’s antics often direct their chaos toward newcomer Jay-Jay Mariano, played by Ashtine Olviga. Jay-Jay, a transfer student at Higher Value International School, finds herself grappling with 16 unruly boys in the lowest section. While she’s determined not to stir up trouble, her skills in self-defense might just come in handy!

Rabin Angeles joins the cast as Yuri Hanamichi, Keifer’s loyal best friend. As a JaPinoy from a wealthy family in Japan, Yuri’s kindness and intellect make him a steady companion, and he may just find himself drawn to the spirited Jay-Jay.

This ensemble is packed with colorful characters, including Andre Yllana as Aries, Jay-Jay’s cousin, and Heart Ryan as Ella, who previously enjoyed being the sole girl in Section E. Axel Torres plays Angelo, the ambitious older brother of Aries, while Charles Law embodies the youngest member of the class, Ci-N, a gifted student who quickly bonds with Jay-Jay.

Rounding out the eccentric crew of Section E are talented young actors such as Frost Sandoval, Kurt Delos Reyes, Ethan David, Keagan De Jesus, and many more, all ready to inject energy into the story. Notably, promising newcomers like Angela Muji, Sarah Joe, and Jastine Lim will further elevate the show’s dynamism, while seasoned actors like Yayo Aguila and Nanette Inventor will ensure the ensemble brings all their talent to the forefront.

Directed by Theodore Boborol, whose previous work on “The Rain in España” was a massive success, this adaptation promises a captivating mix of hilarity and heartfelt moments.
