VIVA launched Vivamax on Jan. 29, 2021, to fulfill Vic del Rosario’s dream of bringing entertainment directly to Filipinos here and abroad, which they can enjoy anytime, anywhere.
The presence of global streaming platforms and local broadcast and telecommunication giants did not deter del Rosario from pursuing his vision.
Six months later, Vivamax is on its way to becoming an essential part of every Pinoy’s entertainment fix.
To date, there are 600,000 Vivamax subscribers; and within this short period of time, the number one entertainment app on Google Play, outdoing other long-established local and international streaming brands.
Starting with over 500 titles, with a mix of Filipino content, Tagalized Hollywood, and Asian content (including the biggest offering of Korean blockbuster films), Vivamax continues with its commitment to add at least 15 new content every week – a combination of originals, premieres, exclusives, and all-time favorites.
Priced at P149 per month, with television casting on Smart TV via Chromecast or Apple AirPlay, the cost of unlimited viewing entertainment has never become this affordable to everyone.
