NOVEMBER 2018, an original Filipino digital movie broke the internet after its trailer earned more than six million views in 24 hours. “Glorious,” an original offering from streaming service iWant, piqued netizens’ curiosity.
Since then, iWant has been changing the landscape of Filipino entertainment and digital content as it enlisted different creators and filmmakers to produce more original series and movies of different genres released month after month.
Last March, iWant also launched the series “Bagman,” whose engaging showcase of politics, drama and action has generated praises from users.
As the first streaming service developed by Filipinos for Filipinos, iWant has launched free original titles, including the intergalactic romance-drama series “Jhon en Martian,” teen-fantasy series “Spirits Reawaken,” and the live variety show “iWant ASAP” headlined by the country’s hottest artists and stars.
iWant will release new original offerings this May such as the romance-drama series “Past Present Perfect” and Dreamscape Digital’s exclusive original series “Sino Ang Maysala?: Mea Culpa.”
This year, users can also expect new additions to iWant’s diverse line-up of original content, including “Ang Babae sa Septic Tank 3,” “Mga Batang Poz,” “Don’t Call Me Tita,” “Kargo,” “She’s Into Her” and “Taiwan You Love.”
Aside from its original titles, iWant also boasts the biggest library of blockbuster Filipino movies such as “Barcelona: A Love Untold,” “My Ex and Whys,” “One More Chance,” “Kita Kita,” “No Other Woman” and “Sukob,” among others—which can accessed for free.
On top of that, iWant users can also livestream their favorite sports events and revisit the highlights of the games of the University Athletic Association of the Philippines, National Collegiate Athletic Association, Premier Volleyball League, Maharlika Pilipinas Basketball League, ASEAN Basketball League, Alab Pilipinas, Pinoy Pride, boxing events and national tournaments in its one-stop iWant Sports section.
The streaming service also allows Filipinos to catch up on currently airing ABS-CBN teleseryes, as well as rewatch their favorite shows such as the ‘90s teen drama series “Tabing Ilog” and the phenomenal hit “Be Careful With My Heart.”
