Tuwina kasi na ang isang bansa ang nangangailanan ng giya at gabay, palaging tumatawag ang Diyos ng isangHere are the comparative TV ratings of ABS-CBN, TV5, and GMA-7 programs from September 18 to 21, based on the overnight ratings of AGB Nielsen Philippines among Mega Manila households: September 18, Friday Non-Primetime: Unang Hirit 5.4%; Umagang Kay Ganda 5.1%; Bob The Builder 1.1%; Barney & Friends 2.7%; Thomas & Friends 4%; Go Diego Go 5.9%; Blue’s Clues 5.9% Pokemon: Master Quest 7.8%; Ang PangHere are the comparative ratings of ABS-CBN and GMA-7 programs from September 18 to 21, based on the overnight ratings of Taylor Nelson Sofres among national households.
