Movie Producers and Distributors Association of the Philippines (MPDAP)
Everything started in a coffee shop with a handful of coffee lovers. At that time, a respectable lawmaker was sponsoring a bill that was supposed to help the local film industry. Unfortunately, he was fed the wrong information and the survival of the local movie producers and distributors was threatened. And so in 1969, they banded together to form what is now known as the Movie Producers and Distributors Association of the Philippines (MPDAP).
