Asian Vision Cable Holdings, Inc. (Asian Vision) is atelecommunications company in thePhilippines. Founded in 1972 byRamon "Jun" Magsaysay Jr., it was the second commercial cable television service in the country as Colorview CATV inZambales.
Asian Vision has a number of subscribers covering areas in Zambales,Batangas andQuezon, offering cable television andbroadband internet services.
After the cable television industry in the Philippines began in 1969 with the founding of Nuvue Cablevision (founded by American expatriate Russel Swartley) inBaguio, businessmanRamon "Jun" Magsaysay Jr. (son of the late PresidentRamon Magsaysay) followed the footsteps of Swartley's legacy. After spending his 4-year tenure as Congressman representing the lone district of Zambales and returning to work in the private sector, he founded Colorview CATV in Olongapo, Zambales.[1]
In 1977, Magsaysay expanded his cable business into theSouthern Tagalog region by establishing Quezon CATV in Lucena.
In 1986, after the historicEDSA People Power Revolution whereCorazon Aquino was elected president and toppled the regime ofFerdinand Marcos, Magsaysay established Batangas CATV in Batangas City. At the same time, he led a group of other cable television owners to form the Philippine Cable and Telecommunications Association (PCTA). Aquino later signed Executive No. 205 in 1987, which paved the way for the liberalization of the cable TV industry.[1]
In 1995, Magsaysay stepped down as the company president to run for theSenatorial race. His son, Francisco "Paco" Magsaysay, took over his position.[2][3]
In 2005, it began venturing into broadband internet services with the launch of Click Internet.
In 2011, all the companies under the Asian Vision group were reformed under a unified brand called myCATV.
In 2019, myCATV was renamed Asian Vision.
