ABS-CBN’ SONA COVERAGE LEADS NATIONAL TV RATINGS. More Filipinos tuned in to ABS-CBN’ live coverage of president Benigno Aquino III’ last State of the Nation Address (SONA) held recently and hit a national TV rating of 19%, according to data from Kantar Media that covers urban and rural areas in the country.

It is almost nine points higher than GMA’ coverage that only recorded 10.4% nationwide. ABS-CBN News’ special SONA special coverage was led by seasoned broadcast journalists Ted Failon and Lynda Jumilla for ABS-CBN, Tony Velasquez and Karmina Constantino for ANC, and Anthony Taberna and Gerry Baja for DZMM.

Filipinos online also watched ABS-CBN’ live, uninterrupted coverage on abs-cbnNEWS.com’ livestreaming. The site’ Aquino Promises Tracker (ABS-CBNNews.com/aquinopromises) is still up for Filipinos who want to assess the promises President Aquino made to Filipinos.
