Here are the 30 All-Time Highest-rated Philippine TV shows based from the overnight ratings tabulation of AGB Nielsen Philippines in Mega Manila as of February 2008. Take note that the ratings are from a single highest recorded episode of the show (in the case of the tv series) and it's NOT the average over-all ratings for the whole season.

1. The Battle: Pacquiao vs. Morales (2006, ABS-CBN)(83.5%)
2. Rosalinda (1999, ABS-CBN) (69.8%)
3. Meteor Garden (2003, ABS-CBN) (63.8%)
4. Esperanza (1997, ABS-CBN) (63.5%)
5. Ms. Universe (1994, ABS-CBN) (62.5%)
6. Pangako Sa ‘Yo (2002, ABS-CBN)(62.1%)
7. Marimar (1994, RPN9) (61.7%)
8. Maria Mercedes (1996, ABS-CBN) (59.7%)

18. Mula sa Puso (1994, ABS-CBN) (53.7%)
19. Pacquiao vs. Barrera (2004, RPN9) (52.9%)
20. 2005 SEA Games (2005, ABC-5) (52.6%)
21. Basta’t Kasama kita (2003, ABS-CBN) (52.5%)
22. Star Circle Quest (2004, ABS-CBN) (52.3%)
23. F.l.a.m.e.s (1996, ABS-CBN) (51.9%)
24. Encantadia (2005, GMA) (51.7%)
25. Marina (2004, ABS-CBN)(50.8%)
26. Pinoy Big Brother (2005, ABS-CBN) (50.4%)

28. Marimar (2007, GMA) (49.5%)
29. Mojacko (1998, GMA) (49%)
30. Star Circle Quest (2004, ABS-CBN) (48.2%)

Breakdown:

ABS-CBN has 19 entries in the Top 30
GMA 7 has 7 entries in the Top 30
RPN 9 has 3 entries in the Top 30
ABC 5 has 1 entry in the Top 30

Apparently, it’s difficult to achieve a 50% and above ratings from 2006 to the present which means the competition between ABS-CBN and GMA 7 is getting stiffer and stiffer that their shows are in a tug-of-war for audience viewership.

If there’s something missing in this list, feel free to post the show and its corresponding rating so we could make a correction. (I’m not sure if Asian Treasures, Lupin, Sana Maulit Muli and Bakekang have surpassed 48.2 percent which is good, at least, in the 30th spot.)
