When it first premiered on August 19, 2019, its rival Kadenang Ginto was the highest rating daytime series. Despite performing well with an average of 6-7% (based on AGB Nielsen NUTAM), Prima Donnas was still 2-3% short of the rival. By the middle of October 2019, a couple of weeks after Kadenang Ginto lost steam, the series started pushing the latter to the limit. By late November, it took over as the highest rating daytime series and currently maintains an average of 7-10%. This paved way for the resurgence of Afternoon Prime. The success of the Prima Donnas led them to take over Magkaagaw’s timeslot on Saturdays.

With the Prima Donnas as the current top rater in the afternoons, it will be a challenge for them to dominate over It’s Showtime on Saturdays. After the shocking…

sirmac's avatarMC's Corner

Beautiful Justice has until Friday to accomplish its mission.

First aired on September 9, 2019, Beautiful Justice stars Yasmien Kurdi, Bea Binene and Gabbi Garcia, whose lives changed after their relatives who are PDEA agents died on a failed mission. PDEA hugely participated in this series to show viewers what their agents do to prevent the spread in illegal drugs.

The series hovered within 8-11% (based on AGB Nielsen NUTAM) throughout its run. Just like its predecessors which went head-to-head with FPJ’s Ang Probinsyano, the triple girl power is no match for Cardo Dalisay’s immortality. Nonetheless, it was able to produce 100 episodes by Friday.

Beautiful Justice is still a good series to the network’s credit. It managed to deliver a good story involving the war between people and drugs, including the revelation of secrets within the characters. What left the show with controversy is its hashtag placements which…
