GMA was quick to block the threat established by the consistent performance of ABS-CBN's new teleserye "Tayong Dalawa" by launching its new series "Ang Babaeng Hinugot sa Aking Tadyang" starring Marian Rivera and Dingdong Dantes.

The advance debut of “Tadyang” registered 32.9 percent in Mega Manila to top the primetime race putting rival show “Tayong Dalawa” on 7th place. Last week, The Kimerald-starrer was always in the Top 5 beating other GMA shows such as Gagambino and LoLola.

A new primetime series on ABS-CBN also debuted last Monday night. The tearjerker drama May Bukas Pa registered 26.4% in Mega Manila to place 8th overall.
