I could still remember when iFLIX has been introduced to us bloggers. Funny how time flies so fast. I could still feel the first time I met the awesome team behind iFLIX and how they were so excited to share with us what everyone can look forward when it comes to a totally bad-ass entertainment experience.
iFLIX celebrated its very first birthday last May 26 and threw an exclusive celebration last week, June 15, 2016 at Bonifacio Hall C, Shangri-La at The Fort. In the year that’s passed since iFLIX first launched, millions of subscribers have signed up, billions of minutes have been viewed, and an infinite amount of good times I've had with these guys. Solid!!! 1 year na agad yon!!! If you've missed reading about their launch last year, you can read it here.
