I know there has been too many talks about this already but I just want to express my two cents worth. Just want to make it clear that I am “kapamilya”. Anyway, I actually want to question the survey being released by AGB Nielsen. I once lived in a house that has their gadget for recording the channels being watched so I have a bit of an understanding on how it works. I ask all of you, is the survey a really reliable source of information on what channel or program is being watched the most? I Don’t Think So! Not because I’m a sore loser since I’m “kapamilya” but because the company is not transparent on how they go about picking the household where they put their gadgets. What if in 10 households that they installed the gadget 7 of them are already “kapuso” in the first place? Meaning, ever since the beginning of time they are already favoring the programs in channel 7. Don’t you think the result of the survey will be the same over and over again? And that the only time it will change is that if they watch some programs from channel 2? This is why I think they should be transparent on how they choose who to survey, if not to the public then to a third party who is unbiased. I know AGB Nielsen is already an established company and all but still…

Oh well, maybe I do am a sore loser but remember this is only my opinion in the matter.
