This is the first time the said ABS-CBN fantaserye reached the top of the nationwide primetime race with former leaders Dyesebel, The Singing Bee and Iisa Pa Lamang exited the competition. The Anne Curtis-starrer ended it’s run last Friday and it is expected to top the primetime race again when AGB Nielsen Philippines release the results of January 2009 NUTAM. Or maybe another surprise upset from the rival station GMA?

In the weekday daytime race, Wowowee was able to maintain its lead as expected. The ABS-CBN noontime show received a total rating of 20.6% in the weekday daytime NUTAM and 20.9% in the weekend daytime NUTAM. Following closely is the GMA Sine Novela “Una Kang Naging Akin” with 20.5%. The Angelika dela Cruz, Maxene Magalona and Wendell Ramos starrer almost clinched the no. 1 spot but fell short of only 0.1% from Wowowee’s 20.6%.
