• Filipinos are the most avid for paid online video despite numbering least as bundlers in the emerging markets. 

• Of the 55% of Pinoys who are subscribed to paid OTT services, only half availed of bundled service.

• The price for OTT services remain expensive for the average Filipino which makes pay-per-use and advertising modeling more appealing in comparison to monthly subscriptions.
