Discovery Kids Officially Launch: Top 5 Reasons Why You Should Subscribe
During
my childhood days, I remember that the TV used to be my babysitter. My mother
would comfortably leave us in front of the TV to go on her chores knowing that
we will be quite happy to watch our favorite cartoons for an hour or two. It’s
just too bad that we are limited to the kind of programs available then and we
have no on-demand programs we can enjoy. But kids nowadays are so lucky to have
unlimited access to fun, informative and kid-friendly contents to fill their
time worthwhile. Today, kids who love watching tv can also enjoy it thru
digital content.
Last
August 18, 2018, Discovery Kids, a mobile subscription service for kids, makes
its international debut officially in the Philippines, in partnership with the
country’s leading telco and digital services provider, PLDT Inc., and its
wireless subsidiary, Smart Communications. It was held at the Manila House Private at BGC where kids with their invited parents gets to experience
first-hand what the app is all about. The Discovery Kids app will also be
launching in Singapore later this month.
During the grand launch Jay Trinidad, President and General Manager for Discovery Kids Digital, said, "Discovery is driven by curiosity and our Discovery Kids app delivers on that promise, taking the brand experience beyond tv as we continue to innovate with new products and content. Together with PLDT and Smart, we are able to make the service available to kids across the Philippines, bringing them good fun in a safe and enriching digital environment."
On
the other hand, Senior Vice President and Head of Consumer Business Market
Development for PLDT and Smart Oscar A. Reyes, Jr., added, “We share Discovery
Kids’ vision to help parents ignite the passion for learning in their children
through fun, informative and kid-friendly content, as well as unique and
