November is here, and Netflix is adding a bunch of Filipino movies, starting with Heneral Luna. For the longest time, Netflix has had a serious lack of Tagalog titles, leading Pinoys to competitors like HOOQ if they want to watch Filipino movies online … legally, that is.
So, in case you missed these Pinoy movies in the big screen, this may be your chance to watch them online for free on Netflix.
Can’t wait for these titles to come to Netflix? Check out Amo and Metro Manila in the meantime.
