Two weeks ago three new ABS-CBN shows piloted, the network gave this three shows the grandest promotion, they even went to provinces to promote the new shows namely Kung Fu Kids, Lobo and Palos. Many Kapamilyas and Kapuso waited for the ratings result of this three shows wether ABS will beat GMA's programs. But things did not turn out good for the Kapamilya Network, their three new shows received a total beating from GMA's telebabad show. Only the Kung Fu Kids won against Zaido at least for one day, but the next day it was once again beated by Zaido.

Of all the three shows launched by ABS-CBN, Palos is the weakest, since it was aired against Marimar. Marimar's rating still soared as big as 40% while Palos only got 20%

The highlight of this ratings game between ABS and GMA is the collision of Kamandag lead by Richard Gutierrez and Lobo starred by Richard's former leading lady Angel Locsin. A lot of people are awaited this one, not only the two are former team but it will show if Angel still got her magic and charm. Many predicted that Angel will loose her popularity after she moved from Kapuso to Kapamilya. And now it's happening, Lobo's pilot rating is quite very low, unlike her shows in GMA that soared very high. And when Angel and Piolo's sceen finally aired last week the ratings went lower than the pilot episode, contrast to the beliefs that the show's ratings will improved once the two main stars were shown.

It will be another bad news for the Kapamilya network because tomorrow GMA's new fantaserye Joaquin Bordado starring Robin Padilla will start to air. But this this should not bother the ABS-CBN people, after all they said that they don't believe in ratings.
