MANILA – “Pusong Ligaw” continued to dominate in the afternoon block despite having a new rival program which debuted last Monday.

Citing data from Kantar Media, the ABS-CBN series garnered more viewers compared to GMA’s “Impostora” when it aired the much-awaited closure between Caloy (Joem Bascon) and Tessa (Beauty Gonzalez).

“Pusong Ligaw” scored a national TV rating of 15.3 percent from combined urban and rural homes, while “Impostora” only got 13.1 percent.

Tessa may have already patched things up with Caloy, but it remains to be seen how will things go between her and Jaime (Raymond Bagatsing) after the latter saw her hugging her old flame.

Avid viewers of the show are also anticipating the reaction of Marga (Bianca King) to this development.

Meanwhile, the Monday episode also saw Potpot (Diego Loyzaga) convincing Vida (Sofia Andres) to forgive Rafa (Enzo Pineda) and forget the wrong things he did to her.

Kantar Media uses a nationwide panel size of 2,610 urban and rural homes that represent 100 percent of the total Philippine TV viewing population, while the other ratings data supplier AGB Nielsen reportedly has only 2,000 homes based solely in urban areas that represent only 57 percent of the Philippine TV viewing population.

“Pusong Ligaw” airs from Monday to Friday after “It’s Showtime” on ABS-CBN.
