Bukod Kang Pinagpala Pilot Soars in Ratings!

My grandmother usually spends the afternoon watching GMA Afternoon prime dramas and one of them is the newest afternoon serye called Bukod Kang Pinagpala. And to be honest, it was a good show! And I won't wonder if it beat the hell out of Abs-Cbn's Precious Hearts Romances Paraiso. I've also seen some parts of Paraiso and it does look great as well but after the characters had been rescued from the Island the progress of the story just didn't feel good - it felt like we're back again to a sappy afternoon drama.

Denise Laurel is the only actress who would want to make me watch Paraiso. But anyway, according to AGB Nielsen, Bukod Kang Pinagpala dominated its timeselot with high ratings due to its pilot episode. Based on overnight household date recorded in National Urban Phils. for Feb. 11, 2013 the said tv show scored 14.1% household rating versus Paraiso at 9.9%. Meanwhile, in Urban Luzon it scored 15.9% compared to Paraiso's 8% and in Mega Manila BKP posted a 16.6% household ratings compared to PHR Paraiso's 7.6 percent.
