Amaya Pilot Telecast Gets Beaten By Mara Clara In The Primetime Race - May 30, 2011

Manila, Philippines.

GMA 7's expensive and overly-hyped "epic" drama did not manage to topple ABS-CBN's weeknight teleserye, Mara Clara.

Amaya Exploits Sensuality, Period

The Kapuso Channel's TV Ratings Generator, AGB Nielsen delivered them the "shocking" result? today about how their "epicserye" failed faired on its premiere last night.  The Marian Rivera starrer, Amaya posted a 14.3% rating opposite Minsan Lang Kita Iibigin who got only 11.6%. 

But wait,  don't rejoice yet.
Though Amaya may have won the ratings for its counterpart on the same time-slot, it did not however  manage to dethrone Mara Clara on top, which garnered a 14.7% rating.

Amaya - GMA7, Flop or On Top?

For an expensive GMA show, i mean, that's not good. Whatever happened to the Kapuso primetime power? 

Maybe because Marian's character hasn't arrived -on the screen- yet, that's why it isn't rating that much. Ha?!

Let's hope it'll do good in the coming days. #prayforAMAYA everyone!

Amaya - GMA7, Flop or On Top?

Manila, Philippines.

Sometimes, TV ratings are meant to bewilder us.

Just look at what these two broadcasting giants are doing, they each have their own ratings generator. ABS-CBN has TNS Kantar Media while GMA-7 has AGB Neilsen.

So who's to decide if the Marian Rivera's starrer, Amaya did good last night?

TNS says it flopped. (Minsan Lang Kita Iibigin 33.6% vs. Amaya 19.1%)*

AGB says it's quite on top.(Amaya 14.3% vs. Minsan Lang Kita Iibigin 11.6%)**

Who is to believe now? Heck. I couldn't help but think, sometimes, these surveys are self serving, in a way. Or I could be wrong, right?
