Cignal, one of the Philippines’ leading multimedia companies, has entered the growing microdrama space with the launch of Cignal Play Microdrama, a new collection of short-form vertical series exclusive to its streaming platform, Cignal Play. The collection premiered on June 28.
Mobile users on Android and iOS can now stream the initial batch of Cignal Originals in vertical format, along with a diverse lineup of international series from Dashflix. The vertical format is optimized for smartphone viewing, catering to the increasing demand for mobile-first entertainment.
Vertical microdramas—also referred to as “verticals”—are short-form series with episodes usually running under five minutes. This format has gained rapid global popularity for delivering emotionally engaging, bite-sized stories that are easy to binge.
With Cignal Play Microdrama, the platform embraces the mobile content trend, aiming to offer fast, impactful storytelling designed for today’s digital lifestyles.
Cignal Originals will premiere with a compelling lineup of titles including I See You starring Dimples Romana, My Father’s Last Wish featuring Dylan Menor, and 3 Queens and a Baby top-billed by Christian Bables.
These locally-produced microdramas highlight Cignal’s commitment to showcasing Filipino artistry and storytelling through innovative content formats.
This latest initiative also reinforces Cignal’s commitment to delivering content across multiple platforms, from its pioneering direct-to-home satellite TV service to fiber-powered IPTV, and digital innovations like Cignal Play, Pilipinas Live, and Cignal Super.
Cignal Play Microdrama adds another compelling format to Cignal’s growing ecosystem of content experiences built for Filipino audiences.
“We are excited to introduce Cignal Play Microdrama,” said Jane Jimenez-Basas, Cignal President and CEO. “This is a significant step for Cignal as we continue to embrace changes in the media landscape. Microdramas offer a new, creative way to tell Filipino stories that resonate with audiences across our content platforms.”
With Cignal Play Microdrama, Cignal is able to champion and expand Filipino storytelling while catering to diverse viewing preferences.
