Two ABS-CBN shows are vying for the top spot in the primetime race nationwide: The drama series "May Bukas Pa" and the comedy series "I Love Betty La Fea."

According to the Taylor Nelson Sofres (TNS) survey, I Love Betty La Fea is the winner in the primetime race last Tuesday and Wednesday but the top spot was grabbed by May Bukas Pa last Thursday and Friday.

The Kim Chiu-Gerald Anderson starrer “Tayong Dalawa”, on the other hand, placed 3rd last Tuesday, dropped to 4th last Wednesday and Thursday and climbed to 3rd again last Friday.

The highest achiever among GMA shows is Luna Mystika which is a consistent 5th placer from Tuesday to Thursday until it was beaten by Eva Fonda last Friday and settled for 6th overall.

Dingdong Dantes and Marian Rivera‘s “Tadyang” debuted at no. 3 nationwide last Monday but just like in Mega Manila, it wasn’t able to maintain it’s pilot episode and dropped to 6th last Tuesday to Thursday and an even lower 8th place last Friday.

The highest-registered rating last week was 38% and this was achieved by the drama series “May Bukas Pa” last February 5, 2009.
