Vivamax celebrates six months of global service with 600,000 subscribers to date

Viva launched Vivamax last January 29, 2021 to fulfill Vincent ‘Boss Vic’ del Rosario’s dream of bringing entertainment directly to Filipinos here and abroad which they can enjoy anytime, anywhere.

It is now currently available in the Middle East, Europe, Japan, Singapore, Hongkong, and Malaysia.

The presence of global streaming platforms and local broadcast and telecommunication giants did not deter Boss Vic from pursuing his vision.

Six months later, we are proud to share that Vivamax is on its way to becoming an essential part of every Pinoy’s entertainment fix – wherever they may be around the globe.
