Also part of the top 10 are the Kapamilya network’s newest shows, Angel Locsin’s The General’s Daughter  (32.8 percent) and the new reality talent show,  World of Dance Philippines (30.8 percent) followed by ABS-CBN’s flagship news program  TV Patrol  (30.2 percent). JoshLia’s  Ngayon at Kailanman  (28.7 percent) ended its run strongly, while  Maalaala Mo Kaya  (24.3 percent) continued to rule its timeslot every Saturday.

Meanwhile, ABS-CBN won across all time blocks, particularly in primetime where it earned an average audience share of 50 percent, or 21 points higher than GMA’s 29 percent. The primetime block is the most important time of the day when most Filipinos watch TV and advertisers put a larger chunk of their investments to reach more consumers effectively.
