Nakakatuwa na habang tumatagal ay mas nagiging diverse na ang niche ng mga pelikulang nakakapasok sa catalogue ng Netflix. Sana, balang araw ay mamayagpag din ang mga pelikula at seryeng Pilipino sa international scene. Malay natin, baka balang araw ay mahalin din ng international market ang ating mga likha tulad ng pagmamahal na ipinapakita natin sa mga KDrama, KMovies at KPop ngayon, ‘di ba?
