During an interview on “Daily Dish,” Sweet openly addressed those who have questioned Atasha’s casting and expressed strong confidence in the young actress’s ability to perform onstage. Rather than engaging in a prolonged argument with critics, the comedian-actor suggested that Atasha’s performance itself would be enough to answer the doubts surrounding her participation.
Sweet emphasized that Atasha should not be blamed for being part of the musical because the casting decision was not hers to make. He also made it clear that he believes the daughter of Aga Muhlach and Charlene Gonzalez has the ability to demonstrate her talent once she takes the stage.
“To be honest, to address the issue, it is not Atasha’s fault at napakagaling nung bata,” sey ni Sweet.

For Sweet, the strongest response to the criticism is not another statement but an opportunity for audiences to see Atasha perform for themselves. He encouraged those who remain doubtful to watch the production first before reaching a final judgment about her capabilities.
His confidence in Atasha was particularly evident when he directly addressed those who have criticized her online.
“Lahat ng basher ni Atasha, mapapahiya kayo once you watch her,” giit ni Sweet.
Sweet further doubled down on his prediction that the young performer could change the minds of her critics once they witness her work onstage.
“Kakainin niyo ang lahat ng sinabi niyo, lahat ng sinuka ninyo lulunukin niyo ulit. Mapapahiya kayo. That’s one thing I can assure you.”
His remarks came as discussions continued online regarding Atasha’s involvement in the musical. Instead of allowing the controversy to remain focused on social media reactions, Sweet appeared determined to shift attention toward what Atasha can actually deliver as a performer.
With his comments, Sweet made it clear that he believes Atasha deserves the chance to prove herself through the production itself. For him, the stage—not online criticism—will ultimately provide the clearest answer to questions about her casting and abilities.
