HOT: Tired of Mega Manila Ratings? Here are the figures from Visayas and Mindanao!

We have been posting ratings from Mega Manila since we started this blog. However, we realized that based on the 2007 population of the Philippines courtesy of NSO, there are 88,574,614 Filipinos. And Mega Manila which is composed of Region III (9,720,982), Region IV-A(11,743,110) and B(2,559,711)and NCR (11,553,427) has a total population of 35,577,310. That's around 40% of the total Philippine Population.

The rest? Visayas got 17,155,207 people. Mindanao has 21,582,540. Combined, they consist 38,737,747 or 43% of the total Philippine Population. The rest of Luzon has the remaining 16%.

Our point? There are 3 million more Filipinos in Visayas and Mindanao than in Mega Manila. So why on earth are we disregarding the ratings from those important areas? Well, here they are, Kapuso fans take a deep breath before looking at the numbers:
