"GMA Network kept its strong grip of the TV ratings lead in viewer-rich Luzon and the highly- coveted Mega Manila area in November, this despite program changes made by competition backed up by aggressive promotion during the said month. "Based on people data during the said month (November 28-30 based on overnight ratings) from the more widely recognized ratings service Nielsen TV Audience Measurement, GMA-7 scored 35.4 percent in audience share in Mega Manila, up by a huge 8.0 percentage points over ABS-CBN's 27.4 points.

The camp of Willie Revillame has filed a new motion that might delay the court proceeding on the P127 million copyright infringement suit charged against them by ABS-CBN. The counsels of defendants Revillame, Wil Productions, ABC 5 (also known as TV5), and ABC 5 President Ray Espinosa informed Branch 66 of the Makati Regional Trial Court yesterday (Dec 7) that they have filed a petition for certiorari or prohibition at the Court of Appeals, in the hope of preventing the trial court from continuing the hearing on ABS-CBN’s application for a temporary restraining order (TRO) against the TV5 program “Willing Willie.” The defense lawyers cited the Makati RTC’s alleged grave abuse of discretion after presiding Judge Joselito Villarosa has repeatedly denied or deferred its rulings on the motions they submitted. They added that as "judicial courtesy," the Makati RTC should first wait for the decision of the Court of Appeals on the petition before moving forward with the TRO hearing.

Chairman and Ceo of GMA Network Inc. Atty. Felipe Gozon handed the PhP3 Million Pesos to Akihiro Sato. Mr. Nice Guy “I believe in a clean fight.” - Akihiro Brazilian-Japanese Akihiro Sato , 26, is one of the top male models in the country gracing billboards, print ads and ramp. Aki has also ventured into acting by appearing in GMA-7 shows, the last of which was the fantaserye Panday Kids. Prior to Survivor Philippines , Aki said that the most daring thing he did is to join the singing – contest, Celebrity Duets where he captured the hearts of the viewers perhaps not by his singing but with his dashing looks and his child-like spirit. He is into jui jitsu, soccer, boxing, Mhuai Thai and surfing, making him fit for any physical challenge. Aki, the "Mr. Nice Guy" in camp - will his smile waver as life in the island becomes more than unbearable? Photo courtesy of blogs.gmanews.tv

The Regional Trial Court of Makati City ruled today (Dec 2) to continue hearing ABS-CBN’s application for a temporary restraining order (TRO) against TV5 program “Willing-Willie,” allegedly a copycat of ABS-CBN noontime show “Wowowee.” Judge Joselito Villarosa of Branch 66 of the Makati RTC, decided to push through with ABS-CBN’s presentation of evidence for a possible TRO amid motions raised by the defendants, including a motion to dismiss the case, a motion for Villarosa's inhibition as presiding judge, a motion to defer the TRO hearings, and another motion requesting to drop TV5 President Ray Espinosa as one of the defendants. Villarosa told both parties that he will decide on the various motions filed by the defense before he rules on the TRO application. Atty. Bienvenido Somera, who is representing ABS-CBN, argued that there should be no delay in the TRO application proceedings since the Supreme Court has ruled that the filing of a motion to dismiss is not a ground
