Aryana Beats Pilot Episode of Paroa: Ang Kwento ni Mariposa in National TV Ratings

ABS-CBN’s top-rating Primetime Bida series “Aryana” remains to be the no.1 fantaserye in the country as it recently won in the ratings game over GMA’s newly launched fantasy program.

Based on the data from Kantar Media last Monday (November 5), the series topbilled by Kapamilya tween mermaid Ella Cruz garnered 27.8% national TV ratings, or almost 13 points higher than the pilot episode of its new rival in GMA “Paroa: Ang Kuwento ni Mariposa” which only got 15.5%.

According to Ella, there is no problem with having a new rival program because she is not competing with anyone. “I just always strive to do my best at work. I think it’s better to be focused on improving my craft instead of competing with others,” said Ella.

Meanwhile, the Kapamilya primetime princess believes that despite its new competition, TV viewers will still continue to support “Aryana” because of the upcoming heart-pounding scenes in the series. “I believe they’ll keep on following our story with the exciting challenges that Aryana will face in the coming weeks, especially now that her daddy Victor (Tonton Gutierrez) already accepted her as his daughter,” Ella shared.

With Victor’s acceptance and a budding friendship with her sister Megan (Michelle Vito), will Aryana’s life be filled with happiness?
