Studio 23 or Qtv? Lolz. Studio 23. I don't know what the hype is with being Kapamilya or Kapuso.

GMA for me...i prefer the way they take care of their talents and their sincerity is more heartfelt than ABS-CBN

This sounds very Filipino! :D Anyway i am used to ABS CBN shows too. Although the ratings says that GMA is rating high in their surveys its just hard for me to really appreciate the shows in GMA since I got accustomed to ABS style of entertainment. There is something in their show that is different from the rest. But I do watch GMA's shows too if there are times I am bored with some of their shows.

I like GMA because of EAT BULAGA. I like the trios. When it goes dark I watch ABS-CBN because I like all their telenovelas especially PRINCESS HOURS.

Well, since I was a kid until now I've been watching ABS-CBN because for me they are the best channel. I like their programs and their actresses and actors of ABS. As you can see most of the popular actresses and actors are from ABS-CBN but it doesn't mean because of that I like ABS but because I love watching all their programs.

my daughter loves super inggo! - my daughter loves super inggo!
I've been watching ABS-CBN during elemetary and high school days too because GMA wasn't that popular and we have a poor signal at our province at that time. But when I moved here at the city and has an accessed of the GMA channel I like their anime's a lot:) But then still my loyalty is at channel 2 but when I get married, my husband is very loyal to channel 7 and it's like a sin changing the TV channel to channel 2, lol. He says channel 2 programs isn't that worth watching, he finds it really cheap (sorry to the ABS CBN fans out there). But then just recently, when my favorite popstar Sarah Geronimo got her first primetime soap show, I really watch it and just ignore my husband who gets home very late, lol. I'm watching channel 2 now, the shows Super Inggo because my daughter loves it, and Maging Sino Ka Man which I love the story a lot. Haven't watch GMA shows that much lately, I hate their primetime shows line up, maybe I'll watch the Starstruck Show soon:)

I do like GMA shows a lot from morning to afternoon especially their anime even if it is a replay. I am not watching much their telebabad because my friends here watch the Primetime Bida of ABS-CBN but since starstruck show started I requested them to change channel if it is commercial break. :-)

i used to watch abs-cbn when i was little. but i don't watch any of the two stations' programs anymore. there's nothing much to learn from those tv shows anyway. most of them are just aired to boost their ratings. i personally think this competition between gma and abs-cbn is not healthy. they're just playing the ratings game. the one who gets the higher ratings wins. my mother watches wowowee during lunchtime so i'm forced to at least hear what they're talking about in wowowee. sometimes, she switches the channel back to eat bulaga. they're both the same. nothing matters for the two media networks but the ratings they receive and the money they earn. they don't even care whether or not they're making fools of themselves, or worse, of other people on tv. and the primetime telenovelas are not any better. entertainment in the philippines is not so entertaining anymore. who wants to watch a scene of one woman clad in probinsyana clothes crying for an entire minute? not me, definitely.

I'd have to say ABS-CBN mainly because I've watched it since I was a little kid. Also, their news team is highly commendable as they've been through almost thick and thin just to deliver topics with substance. I personally like their show "Maalaal Mo Kaya" because it's already an institution and I've heard a joke from my friend about Mel Tiangco not able to beat Charo Santos' show even if she'd been to all of the beaches in the world, using them as background for her show "Magpakailanman."

I loved ABS-CBN, they have more quality programs. While GMA, they always said that they are the best that they even showing to the public that their programs are being watch more. I think I like ABS-CBN because they are a bit humble.

I'm both a kapuso and kapamilya, although I'm more of a GMA fanatic. :) Hehe. I love almost all of the shows in GMA. From documentaries to noontime shows. I don't find them corny, unlike other ABS shows. I hate "Wowowee". UGH. Corny, baduy and jologs. Anyway, I love other ABS shows such as Sana Maulit Muli. :)
