When he (Cruz) filed his resignation as chair of the FDCP, part of the resignation was the endorsement that I succeed him because we want to continue the programs that we have started. Sayang naman kung start from scratch na naman. His endorsement really really mattered a lot,&quot; Reyes said. </p><p>&#x27;The work has begun!&#x27; said Reyes, who after signing his appointment papers, will talk to the board of trustees of FDCP to discuss his current role as competition director of Cinemalaya, which is celebrating its 20th anniversary this year. Reyes is hoping he can be allowed to transition his exit from the film festival until August this year. </p><p>As for his personal goals for FDCP, Reyes encapsulated it as: Introspection, Immersion and Innovation. </p><p>&quot;It is in only from looking at the past, then navigating the present, that you can find direction in the future,&quot; Reyes said. </p><div><a href="https://news.abs-cbn.com/entertainment/2024/4/9/jose-javier-reyes-is-new-fdcp-chairman-1206" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Jose Javier Reyes is new FDCP chairman</a></div>
