This is according to the latest Nationwide Urban Television Audience Measurement (NUTAM) results forwarded today, April 9, by AGB Nielsen Media Research.Manny Pacquiao's anticipated rematch with Mexican foe Juan Manuel Marquez held last March 16 stood out with an impressive 48.6 percent rating to lead the Top Weekend Programs category. In a previous report, the media research firm had already stated that they were already anticipating a good turnout, which is always the case whenever Manny steps on the ring.
Marimar's two separate specials—Marimar Memories and Marimar: Isang Pasasalamat—also fared very well as proven by its 25.9 and 16.1 percent ratings, respectively. The tandem of Marian Rivera and Dingdong Dantes capped off their phenomenal run by garnering a 38.1 percent rating to lead the race in the Top Weekday Programs for primetime. Marimar aired its last episode on March 14 with an extravagant wedding involving its two protagonists.
Speaking of weekdays primetime, ABS-CBN's Kung Fu Kids, Lobo, and Pinoy Big Brother Teen Edition Plus occupied the second, third and fourth spot to prove their tight grip in the nationwide contest.
The Kapamilya network's long-running news program TV Patrol World was also a tough nut to crack. Marking its 20th year, TV Patrol's special presentation dubbed as 20 Taon TV Patrol World barged into the No.6 spot with a rating of 31.3 percent while its regular programming secured the eight spot.
Willie Revillame's Wowowee continues to dominate the weekday programs for the daytime category. For the month of March, Wowowee accumulated a strong 22.1 percent rating followed by Edu Manzano's game show Pilipinas, Game KNB? with a grade of 19.8 percent tucked under its belt.

Garnering a strong 17.7 percent rating, Prinsesa ng Banyera edged out Mega Manila darlings such as Daisy Siete, Kaputol ng Isang Awit, and Maging Akin Ka Lamang.
For primetime weekend, KC Concepcion's I Am KC lorded over its more experienced foes by topping the category via its 28.8 percent rating. Mega Manila's consistent topnotcher Bitoy's Funniest Videos was locked in a two-way jam with Pinoy Big Brother's Teen Edition Plus: The Big Plus Revealed.
