Viva takes on Asia with World Media Entertainment


Vic del Rosario, Jr., Chief Executive Officer of Viva Entertainment Inc., today announced that his company has entered into a deal with World Media Entertainment (WME) to market and promote Viva products in South East Asia. The agreement was executed with Khoo Shao Tze, Chief Executive Officer of World Media Entertainment.


Del Rosario sees the association with WME as a major step forward for the entertainment company that he founded 25 years ago. "The times have changed," says Del Rosario. "It is now time for the Philippines to expand globally and show other countries what the Filipino entertainer is capable of."

For starters, the agreement with WME now includes the following:

1. The sale of the cable rights to 250 films from the large Viva catalogue to Astro Cable. These will be shown in Indonesia, Malaysia and Brunei. 2. Co-production ventures with producers from other countries in the region. The first project in this area is the TV series "Marooned," directed by Jon Red and which was shot in Subic. This stars Parto, Kiwil, Muhammad Gary Iskak and Kumarason Chinnadurai from Indonesia and Jen Rosenthal and Jaycee Parker from the Philippines. 3. Distribution of Viva products, films and records in the Region. 4. Concert production.

Along with these comes the massive push on WME’s part to promote Filipino artists all over the region. Mr. Khoo believes wholeheartedly in the Filipino artist. "There is an abundance of talent in the Philippines," says Mr. Khoo, who also works in close association with Astro, TVB and other media outlets. "All that we have to do is create awareness about them in the region. I believe that we at World Media can provide that."

WME is one of the leading independent content providers for old and new media in South East Asia. Based in Singapore, WME is a group of media companies engaged in the business of production and distribution of content, media consultancy and placement services. WME is also the exclusive regional representative of Video Fashion Network (VFN) the world’s largest producer and distributor of fashion, beauty and lifestyle programming.

Viva Entertainment is the leading film and music supplier in the country. It is also involved in foreign film distribution, video distribution, television production, music publishing, recording, video rental and retail, concert promotions, talent management and theater management.
