TV ratings agency AGB Nielsen Philippines only considers Metro Manila and the provinces of Bulacan, Cavite, Laguna and Rizal as "Mega Manila" for their TV audience ratings gathering. The area has a population of 17,902,899 or about 23% of the population.
i dont care much about the ratings, kc it isnt stable - ABS or GMA nangunguna, mega manila for GMA, Cebu and Mindanao for ABS, what i care for is the quality of the show a station has to offer, plus the awards it receive from numerous groups or organization for the superb services they give to their viewers, plus quality artists, and it shows ABS CBN has it all, not to mention numerous ads of the station that really show how big ABS CBN is compared to GMA.
