HOOQ, Asia’s largest Subscription Video-on-Demand (SVOD) service, recently announced its acquisition of the exclusive SVOD rights to the catch-up episodes of Aldub’s first-ever teleserye, Destined to Be Yours, in the Philippines.
“With this new partnership, AlDub fans in the Philippines can stream the latest episode of Destined to be Yours 24 hours after its telecast on GMA 7, plus they can also catch up on all the previous episodes they missed,” says Jane Cruz Walker, country manager of HOOQ.
“Since we announced the highly anticipated first primetime TV series of Alden Richards and Maine Mendoza, the entire #AlDub nation created such a buzz online that Destined to be Yours was definitely destined to be a hit even before it aired its first episode,” says Judd Gallares, president and COO of GMA New Media, Inc. “
It is currently the most talked about primetime show on Philippine television since it premiered on Feb. 27.
In fact, the pilot episode garnered 22.5 percent ratings on AGB Nielsen NUTAM which is 2.9 percent higher than its rival program. The hashtag for the pilot episode, #DestinedToBeYoursWorldPremiere, also dominated worldwide Twitter trends – garnering 4.4 million tweets from Feb. 26, 6 p.m. to 6 a.m. on Feb. 28.
