iflix, Southeast Asia’s leading Internet TV service, offering subscribers unlimited access to tens of thousands of hours of entertainment for a low monthly price, today announced it has entered into a landmark partnership with GMA to bring subscribers an extraordinary library of Philippine TV programs, documentaries and feature films.
The partnership introduces popular GMA 7 TV shows such as My Husband’s Lover, Ang Dalawang Mrs. Real, and Amaya, along with GMA News documentaries such as i-Witness and Pinoy Abroad to iflix’s extensive library of top movie and television content. Notable feature films from the network include all-time classics such as Jose Rizal and Muro Ami, along with more recent titles such as Sosy Problems and The Road.

The deal is one of the first of its kind in the region. For the first batch, local Catch up TV will be available for Half Sisters with My Faithful Husband, Beautiful Strangers and Pari Ko’y soon to follow.
