AGB Mega Manila TV Ratings (August 1-2): Cory Aquino's Death Brings The Buzz Back To Life

Kris Aquino's mourning on the demise of her mother, Former President Corazon Aquino, brought The Buzz on top of the ratings game last weekend. The show registered a high ratings of 18.4%, doubling the ratings gained by GMA-7's Showbiz Central at 9.5%.

Host Kris Aquino gave an emotional and revealing solo interview to co-host Boy Abunda about the circumstances of Mom Cory Aquino�s death. Preempting regular programming and doing away with co-host Ruffa Gutierrez, the hotness of the topic and the appropriateness of the interview format largely contributed to the impressive rating. It was done right at the La Salle Greenhills gym where grateful people were paying their last respect to President Cory (Watch the full interview HERE).

However, despite its rigid promotion, the first episode of the five-part series "Vilma: Woman For All Seasons" only got a measly 20.9%. Hope the same rating won't reflect in the box-office turn-out of Vilma's comeback film titled "In My Life".
