Happy can't even describe the the feeling of CIGNAL Digital TV last night when they celebrated a feat that looked good from all corners of the Philippines. They just had 1 MILLION subscribers, unbelievable, but they just did.
They started the occasion by telling their humble beginnings, back when they were just a small corporation who believed wireless is the way to go. The Philippines has 7,120 islands and it was something normal to have a service that can go past geographical locations, so you could have CIGNAL TV at home. It is wholly owned by MediaQuest Holdings through the PLDT Trust Fund. They are also using the prepaid platform of the biggest telecommunications network in the country, Smart. They've got a whole lineup of channels that have SD and HD quality and Filipinos have been enjoying them til today!
Present during the occasion were Paolo Bediones, Anne Curtis Smith, Jasmine Curtis (who hosted the event), Manny V. Pangilinan and CIGNAL's very own Emmanuel C. Lorenzana. They even went ahead and said they can't wait to actually have the next million subscribers, a feat that might prove to be more challenging since they have really good competition. They remain very optimistic, admirable for a once small company that was once unsure the technology was going to be bit by Pinoys. Congratulations CIGNAL! You've outdone yourselves!
