MANILA, Philippines - ABS-CBN Corp. chairman Gabby Lopez said it is compelling content that would bridge the digital divide. "Imagine FPJ and Mars Ravelo on your mobile.Imagine Vice Ganda and Daniel Padilla not just entertaining people but updating them on the latest showbiz events. Just a few examples of Kapamilya content for the mobile market," he said, in a keynote presentation at the 7th Internet and Mobile Marketing Summit on Friday. Lopez also said ABS-CBN would like to follow the example of YouTube, which launched a project that funded channels for celebrities, online video creators and even Hollywood studios. "What YouTube is doing for the rest of the world, ABS-CBN would like to do for the IMMAP members and the Philippines. If you have an idea, let's collaborate," he said. "Send us your content ideas that you think will work on the digital space. We will choose five or more. The chosen ones will be funded by us and put them on the appropriate ABS-CBN online platform. We will promote them aggressively and like what they do on YouTube we will go into a revenue-sharing partnership." Ideas and concepts can be sent to collabstudio@abs-cbn.com before the end of the year. "The digital era is really the great equalizer... You only need passion and your idea... I think it's passion that will drive the new digital era. We want your ideas and we want to work with you," Lopez said.
