Investment banker Roberto Juanchito Dispo, president of First Metro Investments Corp., denies that he has been hiding after FMIC was linked into the alleged “wash sale” transactions of Development Bank of the Philippines.
According to Dispo, he has not been as visible in the business circles lately because he is busy making a movie. Yes, you read it right. He is currently planning an Indie film, that will star top-notch actors Aga Muhlach, Eddie Garcia and Edu Manzano.
“Hopefully this movie [will be] the comeback film for Aga Muhlach,” Dispo says.
The film, which will be based on an original screenplay written by Dispo himself, is actually a suspense-thriller about Filipino workers overseas.
With a working budget of P15 million, Dispo hopes to complete the film for showing by December this year in time for the Metro Manila Film Festival. The movie will be co-produced by Viva Films.
When asked why he is venturing into movie production, Dispo says making a movie from an original screenplay and publishing books have always been in his “bucket list.”
Dispo says if the Aga Mulach starrer becomes successful, a second movie is possible—a comedy film, with a working title of “Spirit of the Baso.”
