SKY caps 25th Anniversary

Thousands of families got to experience the world of their favorite cable TV shows and characters at the SKY Alive!, a family cable fair that capped SKY's 25th anniversary celebrations.

Held last March 12 & 13 at the Mall of Asia SMX, the event gave families the rare opportunity to meet their favorite TV characters like The Powerpuff Girls, OO-Kun, Spongebob Squarepants, Patrick Star, Dora The Explorer, and the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles; meet and greet celebrities like Cinema One’s Shaina Magdayao, MYX and MTV VJs, Hero’s Myrtle Sarrosa and Animax’s Ashley Gosiengfiao, and PBO’s Meg Imperial; snap selfies with cosplayers, experience the set of hit TV programs like HBO Game of Thrones and History’s The Vikings; play fun games in the various channel booths, and catch a mini concert of Kapamilya stars Hashtag, Morisette, Darren, Erik, and Jed among others.

“We wanted to ensure that families can actually experience the content they see on SKYcable so we asked our channel partners to support this event and they did so wholeheartedly,” said March Ventosa, Sky Cable Corporation chief operating officer.

SKY also treated three lucky families from Luzon, Visayas, and Mindanao to a “SKY Alive!” and Kidzania experience to thank them for making SKY a part of their daily lives.

Among those who visited “SKY Alive!” were ABS-CBN president and CEO Carlo Katigbak and his family; ABS-CBN executive adviser to the chairman, chief content officer, and president of ABS-CBN University Charo Santos-Concio with her granddaughters Julia and Talia, and ABS-CBN head of Integrated Sports Dino Laurena.

Ventosa assured subscribers that as the country’s largest cable TV provider, SKY will continue to lead innovation and service quality in the industry.

Sky Cable Corporation was founded in 1990 and has since established a solid reputation as a trusted cable TV brand. It currently has over 700,000 subscribers and has continued to expand beyond postpaid cable TV service to introduce other innovations that can further strengthen the bond of Filipino families like “SKYcable Prepaid,” the country’s first-ever prepaid cable TV service in the country, “SKYbroadband,” “SKYmobi,” and “SKY on Demand,” among others.
