ABS-CBN Corporation, the premiere media and entertainment company in the Philippines, has merged its two streaming platforms to provide entertainment, news and information to Filipinos wherever they are around the world as it officially launched a bigger and better iWantTFC, the first Filipino subscription-based streaming service available globally.
Available through the web on iWantTFC.com and on iOS and Android devices, iWantTFC allows users to choose from different subscription options with different levels of content and new platform features that can suit their needs. Aside from offering ad-free access to the biggest library of Filipino video content, the new iWantTFC provides first window streaming of fresh teleserye episodes, 48 hours before their premiere on any ABS-CBN platform or channel. Users in the Philippines, meanwhile, can enjoy free on-demand streaming of the latest episodes of currently airing ABS-CBN shows within seven days. iWantTFC are also able to enjoy new features such as offline viewing on select movies and series and an enhanced viewing experience on bigger screens through select TV brands as well as Roku and Telstra TV.
Registered iWantTFC users in the Philippines can choose from three subscription options - free, standard (Php59 a month), and premium (Php119 a month). Premium subscription gives users ad-free access to iWantTFC's entire catalogue and all of its features while standard subscription allows users to stream and binge-watch ad supported content. Both standard and premium subscribers get full access to iWantTFC's library of over 1,000 movies, live channels (Kapamilya Channel, Cinemo, Teleradyo, ANC, Knowledge Channel), ABS-CBN's full inventory of past and present shows, all acquired content, all episodes of 86 iWantTFC originals and other digital content. However, monthly premium and standard subscription rates for registered iWantTFC users outside the Philippines vary across territories. On the other hand, users who opt for the free plan are granted limited access to an ad-supported catalog of movies, live channels, select episodes of shows and teleseryes.
iWantTFC's extensive library of regularly updated content includes currently airing ABS-CBN shows, Kapamilya classics, movies, newscasts, lifestyle programs, award-winning documentaries, originals, religious programs and acquired series from Thailand's GMMTV among others. Users also get to enjoy watching ABS-CBN's newest teleserye "La Vida Lena" starring Erich Gonzales which premiered on the platform last November 14 (Saturday). Adding to iWantTFC's catalog are new and upcoming original series including "Bawal Lumabas: The Series" starring Kim Chiu, Francine Diaz and Kyle Echarri; "Hoy Love You" featuring the reunited tandem of Roxanne Guinoo and Joross Gamboa; "I Can Wait Forever" with Loisa Andallo and Ronnie Alonte; "He's Into Her" with Donny Pangilinan and Belle Mariano; and "Ampalaya Chronicles: Mr. & Mrs. Cruz", the latest episode in the heartbreak-themed anthology series starring Beauty Gonzales and Kiko Estrada. Users will also be able to watch new movies released via CineXpress straight on the platform including Star Cinema movies "My Lockdown Romance", "Boyette: Not A Girl Yet", and "Four Sisters Before The Wedding" and can continue to follow "The House Arrest Of Us" starring Kathryn Bernardo and Daniel Padilla which is ongoing on iWantTFC. Meanwhile, users in the Philippines can look forward to the Philippine-exclusive streaming of Thai series "Theory Of Love" and "The Shipper" before the year ends.
