[EDITOR’S NOTE: The following is a press release from PLDT HOME DSL) 

MANILA, Philippines — In less than five months’ time, iflix has become the country’s leading subscription video-on-demand (SVoD) service provider in the country, with over 300K subscribers in the Philippines alone. Regionally, including subscribers in Malaysia and Thailand, iflix has more than half a million subscribers, making it the most popular SVoD service in Southeast Asia. 

According to the co-founder and Group CEO of iflix, Mark Britt, they will continue to release its world-class service to additional key emerging markets globally in the coming year. 

“We’re thrilled at the outstanding reception iflix has received to date. We are 100 percent committed to delivering the best content and service available to our rapidly growing, loyal subscriber base across the region, with award winning exclusive programming such as Mr. Robot, Fargo, UnReal, and Black Sails, and all new game-changing features, to be announced soon. We are currently discussing collaboration with many leading brands both regionally and worldwide to bring greater value to our customers and theirs,” Britt says. 

The critically acclaimed Mr. Robot is exclusively available on iflix. With its vast content library, the next step for iflix is to extend its considerable lead in content viewership further. The company recently revealed that it has streamed 200 million minutes of the Philippines’ favorite movies and TV programs. This figure is 15 times greater than the reported video-minute consumption of iflix’s closest competitor.
