The Philippines TV Ratings for the entire month of June 2008, yes, Nationwide tabulation (NUTAM), saw Dyesebel taking a slight edge over May 2008’s no. 1, The Singing Bee. Special event presentations, the Pacquiao vs. Diaz fight got a whopping 46% audience share topping the weekend daytime ratings race while Paalam Daboy 1952-2008 (the GMA 7 Coverage), topped the weekday daytime programs. Pinoy Big Brother Teen Edition Plus: The Big Night also got a very large ratings/audience share that even its offshoot, Pinoy Big Brother Teen Edition Plus: The Big Reunion placed no. 2 in the top weekend primetime programs. The NUTAM is compiled by AGB Nielsen Philippines.

Here is the Nationwide TV Ratings for June 2008:

Could this be a sign that Judy Ann Santos star power has been diminished by her “System’s Loss TV Commercials?” Her supposed first major tv appearance and a formal announcement of her engagement to Ryan Agoncillo in Sharon Cuneta’s Sunday show, Sharon, only made it to no.7 in the ratings. The Ryan Agoncillo, Judy Ann Santos appearance in Sharon has been regularly plugged in almost all the tv shows of ABS-CBN from morning till night, in short, it was heavily promoted, but despite it, it only landed a dismal 7th.

After Palos, Cesar Montano shines in The Singing Bee. The Singing Bee debuts this week on ABS-CBN primetime and posts impressive ratings. “The Singing Bee,” hosted by Cesar Montano, is essentially a videoke contest combined with a spelling bee. Contestants are not pressured to sing in tune but have to know the correct lyrics. A live band called the Bandble Bee, headed by Musical Director Mel Villena, plays the tunes that players will sing, while sexy dancers, dubbed as the Honeybees, dance to it. Just like a quiz bee, players will test their knowledge and hurdle several rounds before making it as a Singing Bee Champion. Watch The Singing Bee below, Cesar Montano as host, with Celebrity Contestants: Lassy, Atak, Kiray, Kitkat, Tuesday, and Erik.
