Many
Filipinos today are starting to believe in the old saying, "the best things
in life are free," and it looks like iflix, the leading online
entertainment service for emerging markets worldwide, is already keen on making
the saying possible for its more than one million Filipino subscribers with the
formal launch and introduction of iflix 3.0 where subscribers can enjoy binge-watching
their own choice of entertainment in two different ways: #iflixFREE and iflix
VIP.
The
new iflix was formally launched last August in a special event held at the
Bonifacio Global City and was graced by some of the service's Filipino
celebrity endorsers. Many Filipino netizens, including myself, have witnessed
the event in pictures via social media using the hashtag #iflixBreaksFree. The
new version of one of the most favorite online streaming platforms for Filipino
binge-watchers will allow subscribers to enjoy some of their favorite content for
free regardless of their subscription status. This means that #iflixFREE will
also be available to new subscribers who want to enjoy indulging on their own
favorites without any worries.
With
#iflixFREE, new subscribers can enjoy handpicked content from the service's
wide library of movies, television shows and exclusives available at their own
fingertips even if their 30-day free trial is expired. Such content include online
shorts from local and international content providers, iflix original
productions such as Hoy! Bibig Mo! which is greenlighted for season 2, fresh international
TV series such as Tayo The Little Bus and What's Wrong With Secretary Kim?,
Filipino independent movies, Movie Of The Day as handpicked by the service,
Live Life with Kris Aquino, The Feed where users can check up on the latest
from the platform, and live sporting events like the UAAP.
On
the other hand, those who are not satisfied with the free content can upgrade
their subscription status to #iflixVIP where they can enjoy their choices from
the whole iflix library for a monthly fee of Php129 (or Php99 if you are a
Smart or PLDT Home subscriber). Not only that, #iflixVIP will give you an all
access pass to exclusive events and promotions and even the chance to watch
your shows and movies without any advertisement interruptions. Oh, whether you
choose to go with #iflixFREE or upgrade to #iflixVIP for further satisfaction,
you can choose which do you want to enjoy watching without internet connection
and download them if you want.
