Asia's premiere online entertainment service and Southeast Asia's leading
video-on-demand service HOOQ is upping the ante in expanding its freemium
offering with the official launch of HOOQ FREE which enables direct access to high-quality
content without the need to register. Aside from continuing to deliver the best
of Hollywood and Asian content, HOOQ is committed to bring the very best and
finest local content celebrating the essence of Pinoy pride during the month of
independence and accepting local diversities.
HOOQ FREE is literally a major enhancement of the service's unique user
experience as it provides Filipino subscribers worry-free access to a wide array
of popular on-demand local films, programs, live channels and short-form videos
without the need for them to sign up for the service. The revamped platform has
been well-designed to give viewers immediate access to the nation's most
popular series and movies on any device so that they can browse and indulge on
authentic, unique and locally relevant stories they choose to enjoy on their
PCs, smartphones and smart TV sets. Aside from bringing local stories at the forefront,
HOOQ FREE also bolsters the live TV experience with the addition of CNN
Philippines and PTV bringing the total number of live and featured TV channels
available on the service to 20.
HOOQ Philippines also introduced the HOOQ FREEPLAY FESTIVAL, an innovative
streaming event that will bring a bevy of content from the service's vastly
wide library to its freemium model every quarter. And for its first offering in
celebration of Philippine independence and pride for the Filipino LGBTQIA
community, 1,000 Filipino movies from HOOQ's subscription video on-demand layer
HOOQ VIP can now be enjoyed from now until July 21, 2019. These include the newest
smash hit from Viva Films and HOOQ Originals, "Ulan" starring Nadine
Lustre and Carlo Aquino.
Speaking of HOOQ Originals, joining the fray of original shows soon is
Sex Talks with Dr. Holmes. The ten-episode series is a helpline for those who have
questions and concerns about sex and how it figures in their daily lives. There
will be a dramatization of the letter senders' situations but there will be a bit
of humor in these adaptations. For those who want complete access to HOOQ's
vast library of Hollywood and Asian content, they need to sign up for HOOQ VIP
via www.hooq.tv or the HOOQ mobile
app if they want to enjoy and indulge on the likes of John Wick, Marvel's The
Avengers, The Flash, Supergirl, Jewel In The Palace and Winter Sonata.
HOOQ VIP subscription plans start at Php59 a week and can be paid via
debit or credit card and mobile load or postpaid bill charges considering it is
available for Smart, Globe and Sun subscribers. Aside from PCs and smartphones,
HOOQ can be enjoyed on more devices such as Google Chromecast, Samsung Smart
TVs, Android TV, Apple TV, Globe Streamwatch powered by Roku and even the new
Globe Streamwatch Xtreme Prepaid. For more details on how to get hooked with
