ABS-CBN partners with Viu to bring Philippine adaptation of "Flower of Evil" across 16 markets

ABS-CBN and Viu, PCCW’s leading pan-regional OTT video streaming service, announced today the expansion of their partnership to adapt the hit South Korean thriller drama "Flower of Evil" in 16 markets across Asia, the Middle East, and South Africa. This much-anticipated series is the first Viu Original Adaptation from the Philippines which stars Lovi Poe and Piolo Pascual. It will stream simultaneously on Viu 48 hours before its domestic television broadcast.

ABS-CBN Entertainment’s Chief Operating Officer for Broadcast, Cory Vidanes, and Viu Philippines’ Country Manager, Arianne Kader-Cu, shared their excitement for the series, which will be Lovi’s first Kapamilya drama series since joining ABS-CBN, and Piolo’s first drama series after four years.

Arianne said, “Testament to our commitment to bringing the best premium Asian entertainment to Viu-ers, we are happy to work with ABS-CBN once again to bring the Philippine adaptation of 'Flower of Evil' to all of Viu’s 16 markets. This latest offering puts Filipino talent front and centre in the way we do storytelling, supported by a powerhouse cast and a world-class production team.”

Cory said, “Our partnership with Viu on the local adaptation of 'Flower of Evil' is a major milestone for ABS-CBN Entertainment. This is an opportunity for us to showcase excellent Filipino content and talent to the global audience in the 16 markets of Viu.”

She added, “Our local adaptation of the Korean hit love story 'Flower of Evil,' a compelling and powerful narrative on love for family, search for truth and justice, is the unanimous choice to open our regional partnership with Viu.”

"Flower of Evil" is currently in production and is scheduled to premiere soon. It follows the thrilling story of a man who successfully changes his identity in order to hide his scandalous past. He then marries a police detective, who will later on be tasked with investigating an unsolved serial murder case that will lead her back to him.

The show also stars Agot Isidro, Edu Manzano, Denise Laurel, Joross Gamboa, Joem Bascon, Epy Quizon, Rita Avila, Jett Pangan, Pinky Amador, Joko Diaz, and JC de Vera.

ABS-CBN and Viu’s collaboration strengthens their vision and commitment to bringing premium Asian entertainment to more viewers worldwide. The partnership kicked off early this year, with the streaming of ABS-CBN’s hit drama series "The Broken Marriage Vow" on Viu.

Embodying Maya's mantra "defiance with optimism," the powerful anthem honors young Filipinos who fearlessly hustle to achieve their goals.

In the song's music video, Maya artfully gives a face to this bold generation - set in the iconic streets of Metro Manila. The song's signature line "Ey, kamusta?" is met with the assurance that both Shanti Dope and his fellow relentless hustlers, can only go bigger, higher, and stronger. This generation of game-changers isn't afraid to defy conventions to become their most authentic, and successful selves.

More than just a visual masterpiece, this music video can also be your ticket to winning a share of P1,000,000 worth of cash prizes through the Shanti x Maya Cash Code Hunt promo until June 9, 2022!

With a broad range of rejuvenating wellness and cosmetic treatments serviced by certified, licensed health professionals, visit their four-room center located at the 5th level Wellness Zone of SM Grand Central, Caloocan City.

Zel'e Wellness Center services include body slimming and skincare. Their goal is to provide customers with personalized treatments to reveal your best skin and body. You can maintain your smooth and flawless skin, like with a facial and diamond peel treatment. And also, complete with diamond peel, your skin will be left free from unwanted pigmentation, age spots, acne or pimple marks, scars, fine lines, and wrinkles.

One of the best services is also HIFU Skin tightening treatment. HIFU Skin tightening treatment is not only for the face but can be used to tighten your abdominal area too. Unlike surgical facelifts, laser treatments and radiofrequency, HIFU is the only non-invasive procedure that specifically targets the deep foundation below the skin, without cutting or disrupting the skin surface for your body’s own collagen production. HIFU has many aesthetic benefits which include:

Smoothing the skin
Reduction of wrinkles
Tightening of sagging skin around the neck
Lifting cheeks, eyebrows, and eyelids
A better definition of the jawline
Tightening of the décolletage
Stimulation of collagen generation

"We are following safety guidelines, and practice strict health and safety protocols. The health and safety of our clients and staff are top priority," said one of the Zel's Wellness Center owners, Councilor Abba Sicat.
