Eat Bulaga has been winning noontime ratings.

According to a report from PEP.ph, Eat Bulaga has been conquering the noontime ratings, leaving its main competition, It’s Showtime, in the dust. From September 4 to 6, GMA 7 has consistently dominated ratings, thanks to the popularity of #AlDub. Their September 5 episode, which featured the love team’s first meeting, scored 39.5% versus It’s Showtime’s 8.7% rating.

In a September 8 interview with PEP.ph, It’s Showtime co-host Anne Curtis seemed to welcome the competition between the two shows. “I think it only goes to show that people are still into noontime shows. So, I think it’s great!” she said.

Anne, however, discouraged bashing between fans of both shows, saying, “I mean, of course, there is a war now between the fans and everything. But I think everyone just needs to take a chill pill.”

In an earlier interview, Vice Ganda also gave his two cents on the issue. He called it a “healthy competition” between the two shows and networks, saying, “Bago pa naman nagka-AlDub, talagang may kumpetisyon na ang ABS at ang GMA. Hindi lang naman Showtime saka Eat Bulaga. Teleserye nila, kakumpitensiya ng teleserye namin…lahat.”
