Included in the global launch is the Philippines.
Netflix launches nearly globally, including the Philippines
For countries with slow Internet speed, looks like Netflix made major compressions on their video library to make this function with minimal lag. China was excluded by Netflix
Do you think this will be a game charger for home entertainment consumption in the Philippines?

Oh yes! My VPN subscription days are numbered.
But this seems to be happening so fast. What do the local TV stations and cable/sat TV providers have to say? Not to mention additional competition for Hooq and iFlix.
Good for consumers, but I have this feeling that the local TV consortium might try to interfere, much like what the local transport did with Uber and Grab.
Anyway, I hope we get the full selection of content (ie. US) and not just a subset for say, the Asian market.Last edited by oj88; January 7th, 2016 at 11:10 AM.

I can not imagine how big Amazon's servers to accommodate the influx of new Netflix streamers.
As far as content goes, Netflix have an array of exclusive shows which are quite good... award winners even. It wouldn't be prudent if these shows are not available for the Philippine market. More players in this field means a win for Philippine consumers.Last edited by frenchtower; January 7th, 2016 at 12:50 PM.

according to some review site, around 7% lang ang available sa Pinas, basing the list na US availables. At 460 or 550 a month, medyo mabigat sa bulsa tapos di pa kumpleto. Parang iFlix lang sila na mas mahal?
at walang download ng show para di na nagbu-buffer.
Anyway, they got a lot of documentaries. I might watch them while waiting for the one month free subscription to expire.

93% of Netflix US titles not available on Netflix PH – Report

MANILA, Philippines – Netflix may now be in the Philippines, but that doesn't mean that all versions of Netflix will be equal. A new report says that 93% of the content on Netflix in the US is not available in the Philippines.
On Thursday, January 7, information and analysis website Finder.com released 3 websites that allowed prospective Netflix users in the Philippines to see what they might be getting from signing up for the Philippine version of Netflix.
Two of Finder.com's Netflix analysis pages are detailed lists. Movies available on Netflix Philippines are listed on one page, while TV shows available on Netflix Philippines are listed on the other.
The information on each page lists each title, the year of release of the TV show or movie, the runtime of the program in minutes, its Netflix rating, and the associated genres for the programs.
Meanwhile, Finder.com/ph is a searchable, 18-page list comparing what's available on Netflix Philippines and on Netflix USA at present.
While the top of the page does mention "93% of titles available on Netflix in the US are NOT available in the Philippines," the Philippines does carry a number of movies and TV shows that have already been phased out in the US listings.
For instance, Philippine fans of Star Trek, The Walking Dead, and The Flash will be unable to view the show – or in the case of Star Trek, its various shows and seasons – on-demand on Netflix Philippines.
However, Philippine Lord of the Rings fans can watch The Fellowship of the Ring, The Two Towers, and The Return of the King on Netflix PH but can only watch The Two Towers in the US.
Tech In Asia, meanwhile, took a look at the differences in the US, Singapore, India, Indonesia, and Malaysia as well as some of the copyright strangeness that might be operating in the background.
Gotham, for example, is available in the US, Singapore, Indonesia, and Malaysia, but not in India. At the same time, shows that you'd expect to be available in Asia – the Attack on Titan anime and martial arts movie Ip Man, are only available in the US.
Those who are interested in checking if Netflix is a worthwhile choice for the price involved may want to consult these lists before diving in. – Rappler.com
