FPJ PLAYS DOCTOR IN FIRST FILM FOR NEW MILLENNIUM

Quezon City, Jan. 1, 2000 - Fernando Poe, Jr., 'The King of Philippine
Movies,' stars and directs in 'Ang Dalubhasa,' under Millennium Cinema,
where he plays a doctor seeking revenge for the tragic past of his family.

“This will start the year 2000 for me. Pinaghandaan namin ito at sana ay
subaybayan ng mga manunood. If they liked and enjoyed my movies in the last
century, this new century ay mas magaganda pa ang gagawin ko,” he promises.

Nanette Medved is the leading lady in “Ang Dalubhasa” and has worked with
FPJ in two previous movies: “Dito Sa Pitong Gatang” and “Isang Bala Ka Lang
(Part 2).”

“It’s nice to work with Nanette again,” he says. “Sayang naman kasi ang
talento niya as an actress kung mawawala lang siya. The moment na nalaman
kong nandito na siya, kinuha ko na siya kaagad. She’s one-of-a-kind and we
need an actress like her.”

Nanette went on leave for several years to finish college in Boston. She got
married, and now she’s back to pursue her acting career.

Also in the cast of “Ang Dalubhasa” are Maritoni Fernandez, Berting Labra,
Paquito Diaz, Ricardo Cepeda, Gerald Ejercito, Marita Zobel, Dindo Arroyo,
Romy Diaz , Zandro Zamora, Tony Bernal, Dante Castro, Rhey Roldan and Cris
Villonco in an introductory role.

“Ang Dalubhasa” was shot on location in Cebu, which charmed FPJ during the
presidential campaign when Ronnie (FPJ’s nickname) was awed by the
historical spots there and the charming ways of Cebuanos.

A big scene for the movie has thousands of soldiers, played by students and
middle-aged Cebuanos. “In between takes, I was able to talk to them. More or
less, they represent different sectors of the province. So I had a grasp of
their way of thinking and outlook in life in general. It is indeed very
rewarding to know the stand of Cebuanos on various aspects of life,” Ronnie
said.

“Ang Dalubhasa” is slated to open in Metro Manila theaters on Jan. 26, well
after the holidays and the Metro Manila filmfest, and just in time for
people who would be longing for a locally-filmed blockbuster.
