Next to Dyesebel in the rating race was Robin Padilla’s Joaquin Bordado which had its final episode last friday and it posted a 40.8% rating, .2 percent short to topple down Marian Rivera’s Dyesebel on the number 1 spot.

Robin Padilla’s next project for the Kapuso Network is another TV adaptation of Carlo J. Caparas’ komiks series entitled Totoy Bato and reportedly the Philippines’ Pambansang Kamao Manny “Pacman” Pacquio is being casted for Robin’s upcoming series. Oh well, let’s just wait and see.
