Aktor PH led by Dingdong Dantes launches website with online database for Filipino actors
The League of Filipino Actors (Aktor PH) led by its Chairman, Dingdong Dantes, launched its official website during its general assembly over the weekend.
According to Aubrey Carampel's report in "24 Oras" Tuesday, the website has an online database that will serve as a directory for all the Filipino actors in the organization.
"Ito 'yung parang representation natin hindi lang dito sa Pilipinas kundi pati in future purposes, pati sa ibang bansa pag may casting para sa mga artista. Ang goal namin ito'y maging top-of-mind website na puntahan nila to search for all the actors in the Philippines," said the Kapuso Primetime King.
Marian Rivera and Iza Calzado also attended the general assembly, as well as various actors in film, TV, and theater from different networks.
Aside from the website, Aktor PH will also launch a podcast.
Moreover, Dingdong said that among the goals of the organization is to offer benefits like health insurance to its members. They also plan to have a program for senior citizen actors.
"'Yung health insurance, 'yan yung isa sa pinaka-gap sa atin, sa mga workers in the industry. If you become a member, you are entitled to a certain benefit," he said.
Aktor PH is an organization dedicated to enriching and protecting the rights and lives of actors in the Philippines through a supportive community, training programs, workshops, mentorship, and more.
