Filipino Movie Rentals Celebrates One Year of Service, Education and Entertainment by Candy G. Villanueva

Filipino Movie Rentals, an extensive online movie rental service that offers Filipino-Americans unlimited Filipino movie rentals celebrates its first year.

Dallas, TX (PRWEB) April 8, 2006 -- Filipino Movie Rentals, an extensive online movie rental service that offers Filipino-Americans unlimited Filipino movie rentals for a low monthly subscription fee, celebrates its first year of providing quality movie viewing experience to kababayans in the United States last month.

With the demand for homegrown movies and the internet finding its way in every Filipino household in America, Alvin Chua, an enterprising Filipino, thought of a way to ride the wave and create a library of Filipino history, culture and art to reacquaint Fil-Ams to their roots. “We wanted to showcase Filipino talent and encourage Filipino filmmakers and producers to produce quality movies.”

Many Filipinos in the U.S. have discovered this smart new way to remain updated with the latest in Philippine cinema and entertainment. The reach has extended past the 50 states of the country. Inquiries from Spain, Canada, Australia and the Middle East keep pouring in. Filipino Movie Rentals is currently working on plans to expand service to kababayans from other countries. “There are still a lot of places in the U.S. where we don’t have a strong presence yet. As we are moving into the digital age, we are actually planning for expansions beyond just movie rentals.” shares Chua. He adds that plans for expansion and new projects will soon be unveiled.

“We hope to use Filipino Movie Rentals as vehicle for filmmakers to produce more films that motivates and strengthens the Filipino people. Unlike Hollywood, there aren’t a lot of really good movies made about notable Filipinos or interesting stories about our culture or our history. We plan on bringing these goals to reality and make these films available to our fellow Filipinos,” explains Chua.

Filipino Movie Rentals, in its own way, has bridged the distance for Filipinos living abroad. For more information please visit www.FilipinoMovieRentals.com
