Ikaw Lamang Pilot Wins Over Kambal Sirena Pilot, Carmela Both in Mega Manila and Nationwide TV Ratings

ABS-CBN's highly-anticipated period drama Ikaw Lamang premiered on Monday and its pilot episode won over rivals both in Mega Manila and nationwide TV ratings.

Ikaw Lamang registered a 24.1% rating in Mega Manila, winning over rival Carmela which only got 22.1% and Kambal Sirena (23.6%) which somehow managed an overlap with the Kim-Coco teleserye with its hour-long pilot episode. 

GMA-7's latest sirena-serye Kambal Sirena aired on the same timeslot as the ABS-CBN program Honesto and it also failed to beat the Kapamilya series. Honesto, which is now on its final week got 27.3% TV ratings in Mega Manila compared to 23.6% of its rival.

Meanwhile, Ikaw Lamang and Honesto were certified winners nationwide with wider TV ratings margin from rival programs. The ABS-CBN period drama had 27.4% national ratings while GMA-7's Carmela only got 16.1% ratings. Honesto (32.4%) also reigned over Kambal Sirena (18.1%) nationwide.

Next week, the primetime slot after the evening newscast will be occupied by two mermaid series namely, Mars Ravelo's Dyesebel (ABS-CBN) and Kambal Sirena (GMA-7). It is also interesting to know what show will win in this clash of mermaids.

VOTE: Dyesebel vs Kambal Sirena (Which is the better mermaid series?)

Mega Manila TV ratings were provided by AGB-Nielsen while national TV ratings came from Kantar media/TNS.

Anne Curtis on GMA-7's Kambal Sirena: "Syempre, iba pa rin ang orig."

It was inddeed a happy new year for Anne Curtis as she was chosen to play the most-coveted role of Dyesebel on TV for the ABS-CBN adaptation of the classic mermaid tale of late novelist Mars Ravelo. The announcement was made last January 9 (read here).

The decision to cast Anne Curtis as Dyesebel was backed by marketing research with the results showing the actress-host as top choice to play the love-lorn mermaid. In her interview, Anne revealed that she was offered the role a day before the big announcement. 

"I’ve seen the film versions of past Dyesebels like Vilma Santos, Alma Moreno, Alice Dixson, Charlene Gonzales and even the one with Marian Rivera, at maihanay lang ako sa kanila is already a big honor for me." quipped Anne who promised to give her all to be the best Dyesebel.

When asked to comment on GMA-7's upcoming mermaid show Kambal Sirena starring Louise delos Reyes which will reportedly compete against her Dyesebel this summer, Anne said: "It’s okay. Lahat naman, may right gumawa, but siyempre, iba yung original at all-time classic talaga."

For this ABS-CBN Dyesebel remake, Anne will be paired with ex-flame Sam Milby as the merman Liro and Gerald Anderson as Dyesebel's human lover Fredo (click here for the complete cast). 

Mars Ravelo's Dyesebel on ABS-CBN will be directed by Don Cuaresma and Francis Xavier Pasion under Dreamscape Entertainment.
