Around 87% of the of the respondents regularly watched GMA, while only about 60% said the same for ABS-CBN.Wow. These are pretty shocking results.

GMA Network was also one of the preferred stations according to 74% of the respondents, while only 55.1% said the same for ABS-CBN.
In the same AGB Nielsen survey, GMA scored a higher credibility rating of 68.9% than its rival’s 45.7%. This supports earlier findings from a Metro Manila qualitative study done by GMA that the channel was generally perceived as fair, balanced, and truthful, while ABS -CBN was considered by some as biased due to alleged vested interests in politics and business.
GMA Network was likewise ahead in overall appeal as confirmed by 67.2% of the respondents compared to ABS-CBN’s 47.8%. A total of 71.3% of the respondents also said that GMA was more innovative compared to the 52.5% who said the same for ABS.
"Idinenay ba ni Hayden? Sa madaling-salita,he's lying! Kausap ko yung provincial director ngayon lang at sinasabi niya na may nangyari na ganoong insidente. So,merong ganoong insidente at huwag niyang palabasin na sinungaling ang mga kababayan ko sa Cavite."What's up with senator Bong? Comments please.
"Yun nga ang paiimbestigahan natin ngayon. Katulad ng nagkakaroon ng cover-up. Bakit, what for?"
"At kung wala naman dapat itago, bakit kailangan itago? Yun lang ang puntos natin diyan. Ako, nothing personal. Ako naman, naka-focus sa kaso ni Katrina Halili at yung mga nabiktima ni Hayden. This is a differnt case. Kumbaga, nothing personal sa pangyayari na 'to pero huwag naman nating gawing sinungaling yung mga tao na nandoon."
"Bakit kailangan nila na itago? According sa provincial director, totoong may ganoong insidente."
Ayon sa kanila, John Lloyd arrived Japan with a tourist visa at hand. Incidentally, mayroon di umanong concert doon sina Martin Nievera at Nikki Gil kaya naman lumabas na kahina-hinala para sa immigration officers ng naturang bansa ang naging pagbisita ng aktor.We don't think this should be an issue. It is just a reality check for stars like him that unlike in the Philippines, some countries have rules that apply to EVERYBODY. You know what we mean.
Kaugnay naman ng agad na pagbalik ng bansa ng binata kinabukasan matapos ang pangyayari, binigyang diin ng Star Magic na it is actually based on John Lloyd's personal decision. Upon hearing daw kasi that he had to be detained overnight, John Lloyd opted to voluntarily return back home and follow the immigration officers' advice na bumalik na lamang after ng nabanggit na concert to avoid inconvenience.
Ayon kay Annabelle Rama, sinabotahe ang first week ng Full House, ang show ni Richard w/ Heart, kaya mababa ang rating nito nung first weekWho could have done it? And for what reason?
No less than Sharon Cuneta is being eyed to replace Kris. Who can you suggest?
“I made some important decisions this week. Kasi I was slated to be a part of Pilipinas Got Talent which would have entailed so much travel. It was this week that I backed out kasi our taping for the teleserye is M-W-F. Uwi ako 4 or 5 in the morning from the soap. Tapos Tuesday and Thursday morning ‘di [na] ako mapakinabangan [sa sobrang pagod].”
“Nafi-feel ko talaga na yung mga kids hinahanap talaga ako. Even if James is not complaining, I also felt [like reducing my workload kasi] sabi niya two weeks into taping the soap, ‘Gaano katagal nga ‘yan?’”
“So sabi ko kay Tita Cory (Vidanes), ‘I’m sorry, it’s a decision for my kids and for my health. I’ll let this go even though super nami-miss ko yung mga katrabaho ko. Kasi from Game KNB? all the way to Kapamilya Deal or No Deal sila. But I think I have to make a choice na huwag maging swapang about work at the expense of my family…Ayoko naman ma-feel na walang kwenta akong nanay. Mas okay na i-give up ko yung ibang trabaho. Hindi naman kami magugutom kung i-give up ko yung trabahong yun.”
“Mahal na mahal kita kahit na anong mangyari, kahit anong hamon pa ‘yung dumating sa pagmamahalan namin ipaglalaban ko ‘yon. ‘Yun lang ‘yung kaya kong gawin, ipaglaban ‘yung pagmamahal ko sa kanya."
“Na-miss ko po siya. Andami ko pong napatunayan sa sarili ko na siya po talaga. Siya talaga ang mahal ko.”
GMA Network's award-winning primetime news anchors Mel Tianco and Mike Enriquez, together with Kapuso prime time royalties Richard Gutierrez, Dingdong Dantes and Marian Rivera, will share inspiring words and feelings of admiration for the typhoon victims’ courage and resilience amidst the disasters.
The country's top singers, led by Regine, performed on stage while stories about losing loved ones, of unsung heroes, and tales of survival, hope, happy endings, and gratitude unfold. Others who gave heartwarming performances were Jaya, Kuh Ledesma, Pops Fernandez, JayR, Kyla and La Diva plus the UP Concert Chorus.
This would mean impending doom to the variety show which has been getting constantly low ratings. We know how much Regine loves the show since she keeps tweeting about it so we are unsure if there is truth about her leaving the show.
“She’s not happy with the show anymore,” said Funfare’s Kapuso DPA. “Basta, hindi na siya masaya.”
It’s not sure yet when Regine will disappear from the show. Who knows, tomorrow could be...knock on wood...her farewell appearance. Be alert for whatever “announcement” Regine will make on S.O.P. tomorrow. Or she might opt to simply keep mum.
“‘Yun ang binigay sa kanya ni God at hindi natin pwedeng burahin sa kanya ‘yun. Parang ako gift sa akin ni God itong talent ko so ito ang nakapagpa-bago sa buhay ko and I’m sure si Melai, ‘yun din ang makakapagpabago sa buhay niya basta alagaan lang niya ng bonggang-bongga ang kung ano mang opportunities ang darating sa kanya at mahalin niya ‘yun.”
And about working with Melai, she said, “Why not? Hindi malabo dahil iisa kami ng istasyon. Ina-anticipate ko na ‘yun na makaktrabaho ko siya balang araw and I’m looking forward to it.”
May tampo raw si Hayden Kho Jr. sa GMA-7 kaya ayaw niyang magbigay ng interview dito. Ang banat niya, "I will give the ratings to ABS-CBN!"
