Aktor: The League of Filipino Actors is now registered with the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC).

The move formally legitimizes the group founded to protect the rights and welfare of the people working in the entertainment business.

Kapuso actor Dingdong Dantes sits as chairman of the board while singer-actress Agot Isidro assumes the role of CEO and president.

They are joined by Cherry Pie Picache (board member), Iza Calzado (board member), Jasmine Curtis-Smith (secretary), Ron Capinding (vice-chairman), and Mylene Dizon (treasurer).

Aktor was founded in May at the height of the lockdown as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic.

Aktor aims to serve as a mouthpiece to address the issues and problems troubling entertainment industry workers.

Some of the group's initiatives include providing financial and relief aid, and livelihood programs through the online store Aktor Tindahan to help colleagues earn a living.
