PEP: Dyosa still no match for Dyesebel in Mega Manila

After debuting at No. 5 on its pilot episode, ABS-CBN's new fantaserye Dyosa dropped to sixth up to eight place on the following nights. Although Dyosa relatively maintained its rating—with 25.5 percent as the highest and 23.6 percent as the lowest—it was not able to sustain its hold on the fifth position. It ranked No. 6 Tuesday (August 12), No. 8 Wednesday (August 13), and No. 7 Thursday (August 14). Anne Curtis's Dyosa has the same timeslot as Marian Rivera's Dyesebel, GMA-7's own fantaserye, which has been consistently topping the ratings game in Mega Manila since its debut. Dyesebel posted the following ratings from Tuesday to Thursday: 40.2 percent, 38.3 percent, and 41.5 percent. Richard Gutierrez's action-adventure series Codename: Asero maintained its second position since it began a couple of weeks ago. Kapuso network's primetime newscast 24 Oras and romantic-comedy series Ako Si Kim Samsoon took the third and fourth spots, although the Regine Velasquez-starrer dropped to No. 5 Thursday behind The Singing Bee. Other shows consistently occupying slots in the Top 10 are Iisa Pa Lamang, My Girl, TV Patrol World, and Pinoy Dream Academy—all from ABS-CBN. GMA-7's new drama anthology Obra, featuring Katrina Halili on its first month, debuted with 14.1 percent; 14th overall. In the daytime race, Gaano Kadalas ang Minsan grabbed back the lead although it tied with Eat Bulaga! yesterday, August 14, with identical 22 percent rating. Another Kapuso afternoon soap, Magdusa Ka, was untouchable at No. 2. - Philippine Entertainment Portal
