As part of the launch, HOOQ is also introducing the HOOQ FREEPLAY Festival, an innovative streaming festival that will bring a variety of local content from HOOQ’s vast library onto the freemium layer every quarter.
FREEDOM TO CHOOSE WITH HOOQ FREE
HOOQ FREE is a major enhancement to the user-experience from HOOQ, providing Filipinos access to a wide array of popular on-demand local films, programs, live channels and short-form content – without the need to register. The revamped platform, which can be accessed via the web, mobile app, and on select TV models and set-top boxes, has been designed to give viewers immediate access to some of the nation’s most popular films and series, so they can browse and access authentic, unique and locally relevant stories that they want to watch.
Aside from bringing exciting local stories at the forefront, HOOQ FREE also bolsters the HOOQ live TV experience, adding two new channels; CNN Philippines and PTV. With the addition of these new channels, HOOQ increases the total number of live and feature TV channels to 20.
CELEBRATING EVERYTHING PINOY WITH HOOQ FREEPLAY FESTIVAL
June is a busy month in the Pinoy calendar with Independence Day and LGBT Pride Month. In celebration of all these things that are important to Filipinos everywhere, HOOQ is also introducing the HOOQ FREEPLAY Festival, a new and innovative quarterly streaming event. For the first ever festival, HOOQ will shift over 1,000 local titles from HOOQ VIP, HOOQ’s SVOD (subscription video-on-demand) layer onto HOOQ FREE for the duration of one-month, from June 21 to July 20, 2019.
At the launch of the HOOQ FREEPLAY Festival, new originals like the recent smash-hit ULAN, co-produced with Viva Films, starring Nadine Lustre and Carlo Aquino, will be introduced onto HOOQ FREE.
There will also be an all-new HOOQ Original titled, Sex Talks with Dr. Holmes. The 10-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 the approach is light with a bit of humor.
For those who want complete access HOOQ’s vast catalogue of the hottest Hollywood and regional series and movies including Krypton, John Wick, La La Land and Marvel’s The Avengers, as well as the latest HOOQ Originals, plus Korean dramas like Jewel in the Palace and Winter Sonata, can sign-up to a HOOQ VIP plan on www.hooq.tv.
