The contents of the Philippines, especially telenovelas, series and dramas have a huge impact in its country and in the countries where they are exhibited.\u00a0In 2016, Bridges of Love, its first telenovela on air in Latin America, exactly in Peru generated an audience increase of 26% surpassing its schedule competition<\/p>\n

What are the strategies to surprise audiences in Latin America and the US Hispanic market<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

ABS-CBN\u00a0has been the premiere source of Filipino content globally. As part of our strategy in Latin America and US Hispanic markets, we would like to stress our capabilities as creator of original Filipino content that\u00a0transform lives on a\u00a0deeply personal yet universal levels. We will be aggressive in building new business relations and in keeping our relationships with our current content distribution partners that will surely help us seal our position in these markets. Pay-TV and VOD markets has been on a promising growth trajectory and we would like to be part of it. Partnering with digital platforms will also allow us to offer different ways to access our content and maybe in the next few years, we can also offer our own OTT platform, iWantTV.<\/p>\n
