Larrazabal continues that, “this new way of putting together a broadband plan makes the selection process not only easy, but enjoyable for the Filipino family. With our new plans, our families will be in full control, allowing them to discover their digital lifestyle by being able to WATCH exclusive movies, TV shows and enjoy concert-like experiences; LISTEN to millions of songs and PLAY games for endless hours, as they want.”
By signing up for a Netflix account, members can watch today’s top original Netflix series and renowned movie hits. Netflix adds TV programs and films all the time. As members start using the service, Netflix’s algorithms will start to shape each member’s personal profile with recommendations based on what each member likes. Depending on the subscription plans, members can create up to four profiles within a single Netflix account. Profiles allow different members of the household to have their own personalized Netflix experience built around the films and TV programs they enjoy. There are also parental control settings to ensure a safe-viewing experience for kids. This will limit a child’s profiles to child-friendly titles.
