Flippish.com—the first Pinoy online video channel—was launched at a party last July 2 at the Fiama bar in Makati. The launching heralded a new age in Philippine entertainment, when TV shows need not be time-constrained and ad-ridden.

Flippish is a play on the word 'Filipino'. The online video channel features original broadcast-quality videos that range from drama, fashion, comedy, reality to experimental programs.
