GMA Ratings down

I read the latest ratings survey and it shows GMA 7 receiving the lowest ratings ever. That’s not surprising. Its expected. ABS-CBN 2 is at its strongest state ever. Why?

First, GMA 7 shows are fantasies. Second, there’s a perception that GMA 7 is allied with the administration. And third, admit it, people don’t like their stations manipulating their ratings just to show they’re at least putting up a fight.

Imagine your resident mermaid acting like a prima donna. I mean, yes, it’s lovely to see Marian Rivera fighting for her rights as a private person but hey, that controversial scene shows her during a shoot, and in broad public daylight. What’s so private about it? If you’re a celebrity, you are public property. You don’t own yourself especially if you’re out there shooting those fake,err, damn scenes.

By the way, I commend Sharon Cuneta for her role as a Caregiver in that Chito Rono film. I really hope that Sharon starts doing all these socially relevant films to aid in increasing enlightenment and awareness in all of us on what’s happening. Films are great tools for enlightenment. And Sharon is a very good thespian.

Let me give some kudos to ABS-CBN 2 TV Patrol. That new station ID is really commendable. Pempengco’s voice is something to be extra proud of to be heard. I mean, I got goose bumps just listening to her wonderful voice. Her song is just inspiring.
