A New Era of Mobile Storytelling
Short-form content has been rapidly evolving into a legitimate storytelling vehicle across the globe, and now, Cignal is bringing that same energy to Filipino screens. Microdramas, or “verticals,” are a natural fit for the local market, where mobile-first consumption dominates.
In a media landscape where flexibility and engagement matter more than ever, Cignal sees vertical storytelling as the next step in connecting with modern audiences. Each microdrama episode is under five minutes, packing intense drama, comedy, and slice-of-life moments into bite-sized, vertical-friendly narratives.
Spotlight on Filipino Originals
Cignal Play Microdrama is launching with a strong slate of Cignal Originals. Among the most anticipated titles is I See You starring acclaimed actress Dimples Romana. Other compelling entries include My Father’s Last Wish with Dylan Menor and the drama-comedy 3 Queens and a Baby led by Christian Bables.
These series aren’t just a showcase of talent but also an ode to the depth and creativity of Filipino storytellers. Each title is tailor-made to capture the highs and lows of life in just a few minutes, offering drama that hits fast and deep.
JANE JIMENEZ-BASAS, President and CEO of Cignal, shared her excitement: “We are excited to introduce Cignal Play Microdrama. 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.”
