IMORTAL BEATS I HEART U PARE! BABAENG HAMPASLUPA RATES HIGH!

There's a reason now for ABS-CBN and GMA Network to worry as TV5's Ang Babaeng Hampaslupa unexpectedly soared high in the numbers game last evening! TV5's newest drama scored 9.8% in AGB's people ratings, phenomenally high for the TV Network.  This is almost at par with Machete at 10.4% and very close with its rivals Imortal and I Heart U Pare! This now gives a new scene in the evening battle as the Kapatid Network now has 2 formidable entries in the evening rankings!

Meanwhile, the debut of I Heart U Pare failed to topple Imortal as it raked 11.4%, 0.1% behind the Angel Locsin starrer that gained 11.5%. This is relatively low for GMA as normally the premier of its new prime time program usually tops the evening race. This scenario might be the cause of Mara Clara's high ratings and Machete's unimpressive numbers. Mara Clara scored its highest ratings to date in Mega Manila with 15.1% with Mutya following second at 12%. ABS-CBN programs dominated this evenings' battle.
