Ang Dalubhasa (lit.'The Expert') is a 2000 Philippine action film starring Fernando Poe Jr., who directed the film under the moniker Ronwaldo Reyes, Nanette Medved and Maritoni Fernandez. The film was a vehicle for Medved's comeback after graduating summa cum laude in Babson College for business studies, and is also the first blockbuster in Philippine cinema for the year 2000.[2][3] This comes after his 1999 film, Isusumbong Kita sa Tatay Ko..., which was that year's highest grossing Philippine film.[4]

This was also pop star Cris Villonco's film debut.[5] Villonco later stated that she thought Fernando Poe, Jr. discovered her via the Pop Cola commercial.[6]
