Status: Need to pee!
Music: Beautiful Disaster - Kelly Clarkson

My friends have always considered me as a true-blue kapamilya. The truth is: I still believe that being loyal to a TV network per se is crazy. As for my case, believe it or not, I go for the station that gives me the better programs — and yes, for me, that’s ABS-CBN as of the moment.

It’s been a while since ABS-CBN claimed that they’re the leading broadcast network. That’s because, for the longest time, AGB-Nielsen could only measure the viewership in Mega Manila (Metro Manila and the suburbs). And GMA7 consistently is the top network in this area until now. And then came the nationwide urban ratings — the NUTAM (National Urban Television Audience Measurement). And that’s a different story.

In the latest official national ratings, ABS-CBN has a very comfortable lead (12%; ABS-CBN 47%, GMA7 35%) proving that it is the most-watched TV channel nationwide. Fifteen in the Top 20 programs are also kapamilya shows. To see what Vice-President Charo Santos-Concio had to say about this, click this link.

Anyway, here’s the Top 20 Programs according to NUTAM (March 4-17, 2007):

1. Sana Maulit Muli (ABS-CBN) 34.9%
2. Maging Sino Ka Man (ABS-CBN) 33.5%
3. TV Patrol World (ABS-CBN) 31.6%
4. Komiks: The Adventures of Pedro Penduko (ABS-CBN) 30.4%
5. XXX (ABS-CBN) 29.4%
6. Maria Flordeluna (ABS-CBN) 28.9%
7. Asian Treasures (GMA) 28.5%
8. Super Twins (GMA) 28.2%
9. Rated K: Handa na ba Kayo? (ABS-CBN) 27.8%
10. Wowowee (ABS-CBN) 27.7%
11. John en Shirley (ABS-CBN) 27.6%
12. Bakekang (GMA) 26.8%
13. Pinoy Big Brother: Saturday (ABS-CBN) 25.8%
14. Maala-ala Mo Kaya (ABS-CBN) 25.4%
15. Pinoy Big Brother: Sunday (ABS-CBN) 25.3%
16. Kapuso Mo, Jessica Soho (GMA) 24.9%
17. Pinoy Big Brother: Weekdays (ABS-CBN) 24.5%
18. Goin’ Bulilit (ABS-CBN) 24.2%
19. Sharon (ABS-CBN) 23.5%
20. 24 Oras (GMA) 22.8%

So there. The only things that make me happy in this list are PBB and Maging Sino Ka Man.
