Darna, the GMA-7 fantaserye starring Marian Rivera, generated a massive 44.1% to lead all programs, according to the latest overnight ratings of AGB Nielsen Philippines among Mega Manila households.
It has a significant margin of 11.8% over second-placer Tayong Dalawa, which posted a rating of 32.3 percent.
How did the pilot episode Marian’s Darna fare against the premiere episode of Angel Locsin’s Darna, which was shown in 2005?
Angel’s Darna still rated better with 47.1%, or a three% margin compared to Marian’s Darna.
When Angel’s Darna was airing, GMA-7 was dominating the ratings game in Mega Manila. Angel’s Darna made history when it reached 52.1% on its fourth episode, where Angel appeared in a Darna costume for the first time.
That figure was the highest rating achieved by any GMA-7 show at that time. It was only broken in 2008 when the final episode of Marimar, starring by Marian and Dingdong Dantes, achieved 52.6%
It should also be taken into account that Marian’s Darna is being broadcasted at a time when ABS-CBN is giving a very strong competition in the ratings game. Also, Darna is competing against May Bukas Pa, considered the No. 1 program of the Kapamilya network, which also topped the primetime race for a number of times.
On Aug 10, May Bukas Pa dropped to sixth place with 24.6%. Aside from May Bukas Pa, Darna’s pilot episode, which ran for over an hour, was also pitted against Only You, which came in seventh place with 24.5%.
Rounding up the top five are GMA-7’s24 Oras (31.9%) and Rosalinda (28%), and ABS-CBN’s TV Patrol World (27%).
