Pilot Ratings: 'Kung Tayo'y Magkakalayo' opens with 34.4%

The successful tandem of Kim Chiu and Gerald scored another victory when their latest soap "Kung Tayo'y Magkakalayo" recorded a rating of 34.4% in Mega Manila (AGB) during its January 19, 2010 pilot.

By far, it is the highest pilot rating for a Kimerald teleserye, beating Tayong Dalawa's 30.8% rating last January 19, 2009 and Sana Maulit Muli's 31.5% last January 8, 2007.

'Kung Tayo'y Magkakalayo' was able to beat its competition last night, with a 2.7 difference over "The Last Prince", but it was not the #1 primetime program that day.

The most watched program last night was GMA 7's 24 Oras, with 35.7%, probably due to the reports about Jason Ivler's arrest drama yesterday.

Kim and Gerald are yet to appear in the said soap, thus the success of the pilot episode should also be well-credited to Ms. Kris Aquino, Gabby Concepcion and Albert Martinez who all appeared in the first episode.

The 34.4% pilot rating of 'Kung Tayo'y Magkakalayo' is also one of ABS-CBN's best ratings in AGB Mega Manila survey, at least in the last 5 years.
