Tayong Dalawa ended the previous week right on top with an impressive 35.7 percent grade, escaping May Bukas Pa's hot pursuit in the primetime column.
Angel Locsin's own series, Only You, was not able to tighten its grip on the No. 1 spot as it fell to third place, followed by TV Patrol World and Richard Gutierrez's Zorro. The local adaptation of the Korean telenovela enjoyed solo leadership last May 14 on the strength of its 37 percent rating.
The Saturday contest likewise saw ABS-CBN's Boys Over Flowers snatching the weekend throne away from consistent leader, Willie Revillame's noontime variety show Wowowee.
Garnering a rating of 22.7 against Wowowee's 20.5, the inspiration behind the phenomenal Taiwanese series, Meteor Garden, bested other strong contenders like Eat Bulaga! Entertainment Live! and Startalk in the daytime category.
Maalaala Mo Kaya still ruled the primetime division despite serious efforts by The Singing Bee to wrest the lead away from the country's longest running drama anthology show. GMA-7's new show, Are You The Next Big Star? entered the contest at the seventh spot behind Imbestigador's 16.3 percent rating.
The television coverage of Judy Ann Santos and Ryan Agoncillo's wedding nailed the fourth spot in the primetime Sunday race. Held last April 28 in San Juan, Batangas, the special event generated a rating of 22 percent behind leaders Rated K, Sharon and The Singing Bee.
