ABS-CBN’s noontime offering “Happy Yipee Yehey!” (HYY) continues to beat GMA 7’s “Eat Bulaga” in southern Luzon, the Visayas, and Mindanao. In May, “Happy Yipee Yehey” rated 12% vs “Eat Bulaga’s” 10.7% in southern Luzon, 16% vs 8.4% in the Visayas, and 14.1% vs 6.8% in Mindanao according to Kantar Media.
The most talked about show is also gaining ground in the north. An increase in “Happy Yipee Yehey!’s” Northern Luzon viewership was recorded in the previous months—7.6% in May vs. April’s 6.6 %.
“I’m so happy, yipee at yehey pa. Ang hangad naman naming talaga ay magpasaya ng tao. Kaya yung grupo namin, sobrang solid talaga. May mga problema pero inaayos namin agad. Nagpapasalamat kami sa Panginoong Diyos. Blessing talaga yan. Araw-araw kaming humihingi ng tawad sa Kanya at araw-araw naming hinihingi na gabayan kami ng kamay Niya. We’re coming up with new games. Kung anong gusto nila iyon yung ibibigay namin,” said John.
Overjoyed Mariel shared, “Bonus na yung sa ratings. We just always have a good time in the show. I really have no words for this—thank you lang talaga sa inyo!”
“We praise and thank God for this. I’m sure dahil sa magandang balitang yan, magkakaroon kami ng pagkakataon na bisitahin ang Southern Luzon, Visayas at Mindanao!” said ecstatic Toni.
“Hinahayaan lang naman kami dito sa HYY na mag-enjoy. Hindi naman sinasabi sa amin na pataasin ang ratings. Kaya nakakatuwa na sinusuportahan kami ng mga Kapamilya everywhere,” said Randy.
In house comedian Bentong shared “Hindi ito naging possible kung wala ang production team at mga pamilya namin na inspirasyon namin sa araw-araw.”
The noontime show’s win is just a part of ABS-CBN’s continuous domination in the TV ratings game. The media giant actually conquered Philippine television in May with average audience share of ABS-CBN’s growing to 37% in May or six points higher than GMA’s 31%. Data from Kantar Media show that ABS-CBN’s primetime programs improved its average national audience share to 44% or a 16-point lead vs GMA’s 28%. While ABS-CBN experienced an uptick from 43% in April, GMA suffered a drop from 30% last month.
The noontime show’s re-introduction of Pera O Bayong, new names, special numbers, including the host’s funny antics and great camaraderie all add up to the fun which made viewers switch and have now found themselves hooked to watching it Mondays through Saturdays.
