Let’s face it: If your early morning programs rate better than your late afternoon shows, then there really is a serious problem. That’s why ABS-CBN should really do something about its late afternoon block.
Mega Manila seems to be not too happy with the Kapamilya Network’s offering if we base our assumptions on yesterday’s survey by AGB-Nielsen. Three of its afternoon series — Miss No Good (7.4%), Maria de Jesus (9.4%) and Mr. Bean (6.9%) — were all below sea level, if we define sea level at 10%. All of them …

Darna experienced a major dip in Mega Manila on Wednesday. Marian Rivera’s fourth primetime series took a quick plunge to the 37.2% mark. Is this the start of a bumpy road for the Pinay superheroine?
Meanwhile, Kapuso star Kris Bernal and Cosmopolitan Centerfolds 2009 hunk Aljur Abrenica reclaimed timeslot supremacy as All My Life scored 20.3%, a bit higher than its close rival Katorse, featuring other Cosmomen hotties Ejay Falcon and Xian Lim, and young actress Erich Gonzales. The Kapuso love team is set to grace the silver screen once again …

On its second day, Dahil May Isang Ikaw saw no change in their ratings. Like yesterday, the powerhouse drama registered 28.8%, beating its Kapuso rival Adik Sa ‘Yo by half a point.
Meanwhile, Darna is still the ruling force in the ratings game, scoring 41.6%. However, it seems like Santino is regaining its strength gradually. May Bukas Pa hit 29%, a big jump from its 25.8% yesterday. Is May Bukas Pa slowly gaining back its lost audiences?
Katorse remains beneath All My Life. Katorse, also on its second episode, posted 19.3%, a …
