I believed that many Filipinos are watching May Bukas Pa, one of the top rating teleseryes in Philippine television. Most people can relate to its simple story since it really happens in real life plus it provides moral lessons to everyone.

The show teaches us that we should not lose hope in everything. Santino says that prayers will give you strength and guide you in all decisions you need to do.

Now that he has been shot in the last episode, I wonder what will happen to him. Will he die and finally put an end to ABS-CBN’s teleserye or will he live and continue pouring money to ABS-CBN’s pockets? I think it’s the latter

Catch May Bukas Pa on weekdays after TV Patrol on ABS-CBN.

ABS-CBN’s Only You led the nationwide ratings as the most watched primetime show in the Philippines. The ABS-CBN remake of the popular Korean drama had 35.6% on the number 1 spot.

GMA-7′s Darna remake starring Marian Rivera fell on number 3 spot with a 34.8% rating. ABS-CBN’s Tayong Dalawa was second with a 34.9% rating, just a 0.1% lead over Darna. May Bukas Pa continues to be on the top 5 with 34.4% and hopefully, this wasn’t the result of a divine intervention involving “Bro”
