A show’s strong ratings performance isn’t solely dependent on its own following but can also be influenced by the strength or weakness of its pre and post-programming.
This is evident in the case of TV5’s ‘Padyak Princess’ and ‘EAT…Bulaga.’

On Monday, June 17, ‘Padyak Princess’ recorded a rating of 1.3 percent, 2.9 percent lower than its rival ‘Tiktoclock,’ which scored 4.1 percent. ‘EAT…Bulaga’ earned 3.6 percent, 5.2 percent behind “It’s Showtime,” which achieved 8.8 percent.
On Tuesday, June 18, the Miles Ocampo-led series slightly increased to 1.4 percent but still trailed ‘Tiktoclock’ by 2.4 percent, which posted 3.7 percent. ‘EAT…Bulaga’ dropped 0.1 percent to 3.5 percent, 4.5 percent lower than “It’s Showtime,” which had 8.0 percent.
