The Film Development Council of the Philippines (FDCP), in collaboration with De La Salle University (DLSU) Manila, unveiled the preliminary findings of a groundbreaking study titled "Habits and Preferences of Filipino Viewers of Local Films in Metro Manila.
The FDCP and De La Salle University conducted a study revealing insights into Filipino film viewership, highlighting that Filipinos prefer watching movies at home due to convenience, cost, and comfort. The study, which surveyed 1,500 participants, found that 70% of viewers choose home viewing over cinema visits, influenced by factors like the availability of streaming services, the impact of the global health crisis, and the desire for a more relaxed viewing experience. It also noted a significant interest in Filipino films, with 60% of respondents expressing a preference for local content, particularly genres like drama, romance, and comedy.
