Since 2009, the top 2 networks (ABS-CBN, and GMA Network) are in tight competition in Mega Manila. TV5's audience share is also improving which puts all TV shows to a strong test. 40 percent rating is already difficult to achieve in this region.

Since 2009, May Bukas Pa and Pacquiao-Marquez IV were the last programs that almost made it to the list.

  • May Bukas Pa (ABS-CBN) - 37.1% (2010)
  • Manny Pacquiao vs. Juan Manuel Marquez IV - (GMA-7) - 37.8% (2012)
