Kris Aquino Joins iFlix Family

I love Kris Aquino, sure she had her bouts with drama about love and family, but we all know she's not perfect. She's human just like the rest of us. I don't know her personally but with what I've seen and experienced these past few weeks, she's a nice person and I really don't like the nasty comments she's getting online. She's a strong woman, like a bull, and no matter how much wrong things people do to her, I applaud her for still staying classy despite of all the judgement thrown at her.Her success, is seen worldwide.

With her upcoming controversial inclusion in the Hollywood film about Crazy Rich Asians, it would put her on a pedestal once again and we would only get to marvel at how all these opportunities have presented themselves despite her real crazy life. She's also an entrepreneur, making sure her fame and fortune would be put to good use. Aside from her franchises of Nacho Bimby, and tons of other businesses she's had in the past, she's now joining the iFlix family, a successful online streaming platform that was once dubbed a crazy idea but is now number 1 in emerging markets like the Philippines. She knows why.

The iFlix family probably felt it was but right to make this a super big announcement, to have the honor of having the Queen of All Media Ms. Kris Aquino in their roster of endorsers, and boy did they deliver. Oh but she's not stopping there. She won't be just the face of the company as Kris will function as key advisor in developing projects for iflix Original Productions. Yes ladies and gentlemen, they plan to do local original content projects by working with indie production houses, locally based producers, big or small studtios. Much like the recent work they've done with Internet Action Superstar Ramon Bautista with "Hoy! Bibig Mo", a no holds barred comedy series available in the platform. Soon, this will be one of MANY thing they have on the pipeline.

The iFlix Group Co-founder and CEO Mark Britt added “It is a tremendous honor for us to have Kris in the iFlix family. Our goal of bringing together the most influential local and international icons of the entertainment industry will surely make their mark to get our content out there, bringing unprecedented growth for the company. We know Kris' unparalleled achievements in the Philippine entertainment industry and we look forward to continue and revolutionize the way Filipinos experience entertainment. We will be doing that together with her.”

iFlix Philippines Country Manager Sherwin dela Cruz says "We are so glad to have a well-loved Philippine icon to the iflix family. She's got successful movies already on the platform and with her web and TV programs that have been produced in the country and abroad,  she will be instrumental in strengthening our local presence. She will also be part of the driving force as Filipinos continue to shift watching shows through platforms online.”

Ms. Kris Aquino also shared a lot about her plans with iFlix. Aside from doing movies and original shows, she's going to have an offer with another network. She also thought of game shows that they are still in the works and they're working on it as we speak. This is just a start of a long list of things they plan to do, and are already doing. I can't wait to see it all, but for now, know that there will be BIG things to come now that Ms. Kris Aquino is part of it. You should know, you love her like I do.

Congratulations Ms. Kris Aquino and iFlix Philippines! Cheers to your years of success, and our continued enjoyment of HOURS upon HOURS of iFlix shows in the country!

PLDT Ups Video Streaming with ROKU Powered TVolution Box

PLDT is definitely not lettin down on making tons of content available in Filipino homes. As we all venture into higher use of data, we all look for quality and HD streaming, but home users want it simple so everyone gets to use it from oldies to the young ones. 

Eric Alberto of PLDT says "As we usher in the new era of digital transformation, we go beyond the digital access by harnessing ROKU, with services that include video on demand, streaming channels to make Filipinos the first in asia to use the ROKU platform. This is the number 1 top up box in the US.  We have also transformed cities with fiber connection, and dsl connection hopefully 6 million by 2020. We are the digital enabler of this nation and we hope our subscribers continue to patronize us as we service the Filipino people."

RenRen Reyes Head of PLDT Home Operations adds "In September last year we put up smart home services and now thanks to ROKU we will be having them in the Filipino home. Now families can stream everything on their TV's, as we partner with content and digital providers. Filipinos love digital content, it's different today as we use separate devices, hopefully to put it in one box plus use the world class internet of PLDT. This starts Family entertainment for Filipinos nationwide. With only one box, you can get Cignal, Netflix, iFlix, Youtube and more channels in the future."

Brandon Amber of Roku says "Roku has pioneered this in 2008, and with more than 14 Million active accounts, we will give you more control, so you can watch everything in your terms. The ROKU powered TVolution Box, Filipinos can enjoy all the content and we know you will enjoy it. There will be different apps you will also be seein in the next months/years. It works on low bandwidth and PLDT has plans which can be used on your requirements."

We are free on the ROKU TVolution box and that would mean we would have more reach. iFlix is enjoyed by PLDT Home subscribers and this is just one avenue where they can get us. You'll have an even greater experience with iFlix!"

Emerald City Now Showing on iFlix!

I am gazing at the lovely posters for the upcoming exclusive iFlix series called Emerald City. Yes this NBC universal original is being shown on the app 3-4 hours right after being shown in the US. Now that's not all, because it's better in the iFlix app because you can download and take it with you wherever you are so there's no boring day as long as you have subscription, let's play!

The series by the way is made by the same guy who did that all star cast Pepsi commercial (remember Beyonce, Enrique Iglesias etc.?) and this series is more of a modern but dark take on the original story of The Wizard of Oz! You won't have any shortage of mythical creatures, drama, dog whisperers and of course tons of MAGIC!

You'll get it from Lady Ev, Glinda, East, West, Eamonn, Jack and the Wizard of Oz... even Toto! You'll also see really good flying vehicles, pretty powerful magical assistants and beasts dropping from the sky. It's going to tell the story of Emerald City all over again, definitely not Kansas!

It's actually prettt good and I've started to make it a habit to check if there's a new episode out. If you haven't subscribed to iFlix yet, maybe now's the time to do that. You can also get a free trial, all you have to do is ask! It's available on the App Store, Google Play Store and on the web! You really have no excuse not to have it! It's also better with Smart!

P.S. They are opening in 8 other countries and with the love they've been getting, the databas is going to be BIGGER! I'm watching The Magicians tomorrow by the way! :) You should too!
