This is the company's entry to the fast-rising microdrama "short-form" category with a vertical video format. 

According to the company, subscribers can now stream the first batch of Cignal Originals via vertical drama format, along with a diverse lineup of international titles from Dashflix.

These verticals were optimized for mobile viewing and are accessible through Android and iOS devices.

To those who do not know, microdramas or verticals are short-form series typically under five minutes per episode.

This viewing trend has quickly gained popularity around the world for its emotionally resonant, binge-worthy storytelling. 

Cignal Original premieres a 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.

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.
