Aktor PH led by Dingdong Dantes launches website with online database for Filipino actors
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.

Julie Anne San Jose, Gabbi Garcia, Jillian Ward, more Kapuso stars share preparations for GMA Gala 2025
GMA Gala 2025 is just a month away and Kapuso celebrities are busy with preparations for the big event. In Nelson Canlas' report in "24 Oras" Wednesday, several stars shared what to watch for in their outfits at this year's gala. Julie Anne San Jose teased that she'll be going for something "classic but sophisticated." "Every year naman talaga kailangan. 'Yun na muna 'yung description para pag ano na, pasabog 'di ba?" Gabbi Garcia and Andrea Torres, for their part, will be trying something new in their outfits. "I've never worn this color for gala ever, so medyo hindi ako black and white this year kasi most of the time neutrals ako, so abangan nila kung ano ba 'yung kulay na susuotin ko," said Gabbi. "Meron na kaming idea, pero ginagawa pa lang 'yung damit. Excited ako for it kasi gusto naming medyo maiba naman ako dun sa mga napakita namin last three years na nag gala tayo," Andrea also shared. . Kyline Alcantara shared that her gown at this year's gala will be extravagant: "It's gonna be something else, promise, I'm so excited for all of you to see it 'cause I'm just so proud of my team that they saw this dress and there, I bought it." As for Shuvee Etrata, she and her team are still finishing her look. Meanwhile, if Kylie Padilla went for sexy in her number last year, she said that this year's will be "hotter" and in a different color. Sanya Lopez, on the other hand, cannot decide yet if she wants to go for a demure or a sexy look this year. "Dalawang gown 'yung pinagpipilian ko and nalilito ako kung ano yung pinakagusto ko, isang pa demure at isang hotter. Syempre pinag-iisipan ko pa kung anong babagay sa tema," Sanya explained. Jillian Ward, for her part, shared that she isn't preparing that much for her outfit. "Para sa'kin mas excited lang po talaga ako for the night itself, excited po talaga ako is makita 'yung mga kaibigan ko sa industry," she said. "Feisty" is the word that Sofia Pablo used to describe her gala look this year, while Elle Villanueva gown will be designed by her uncle, who is based in Dubai. "Very big thing 'to sa amin dahil napakagaling niyang designer so 'yun 'yung pinaka excited ako," said Elle. GMA Gala 2025 will be held on August 2 and is expected to be a big event as GMA Network marks its 75th anniversary this year. The star-studded GMA Gala is a fundraiser for the Kapuso Foundation, which will benefit various charitable organizations. Last year, the proceeds from GMA Gala 2024 were donated to Typhoon Carina victims through the foundation. —CDC, GMA Integrated News
