Naku, Boss Ko! took on the spotlight on primetime television. The GMA News and Public Affairs’ political rom-com series dominated household ratings and online presence on its pilot week.
Topbilled by Kapuso love team Ruru Madrid and Gabbi Garcia or GabRu, the show won against rival show both in Mega Manila and NUTAM (National Urban Television Audience Measurement) ratings on April 25.
Ratings provider Nielsen TV Audience Measurement reported that Naku, Boss Ko! posted an overnight household rating of 10.9 percent in Mega Manila and 8.5 percent in NUTAM. It beat ABS-CBN’s Jane the Virgin (7.2 percent and 8.2 percent in Mega Manila and NUTAM, respectively).
An original concept of GMA Public Affairs Program Manager Patty Gutierrez, Naku, Boss Ko! is a timely series that exposes the absurdity and hypocrisy of some of the campaign strategies used by most politicians today to win voters. The show ends tonight.
The audience also lauded Tessie Tomas and Leo Martinez as Ms. F and OMG. Ms. F is the cunning but politically savvy campaign manager and spin doctor of Jon G (Ruru) while OMG is Jon G’s “trapo” father. Even Kapuso young actress Arianne Bautista has been getting positive feedback for her role as Jelai, Ms. F’s assistant.
