2018 TV scene shows ABS-CBN's dominance with 19 of the Top 20 shows coming from the Kapamilya Network and the only other one series in the higher rank is from Iwant which is also an ABS-CBN subsidiary.

1. Bagani
Last Year: N/A

This fantaserye made big waves in 2018 with trending topics every episode and marks the reunion TV pairing for Liza Soberano and Enrique Gil. With a solid story and a commendable cinematography and effects, it was an enjoyable TV watching pleasure of the past year.

2. Spirits: Reawaken

Last Year: N/A

IWant has made the next big step in terms of Pinoy streaming services and this Chito Rono updated version of the well loved cult classic "Spirits", it was indeed a great success. The young and talented cast delivered and we hope to have a potential second season as well.

3. Halik

Last Year: N/A

Late night time slot for teleseryes usually spell less than stellar success in the ratings but "Halik" proved to its detractors that with a compelling story it can draw in audiences. With the internet going into frenzy with trending topics and memes on a regular basis, this series became one of the guilty pleasures of 2018 which stars Jericho Rosales, Sam Milby, Yen Santos and Yam Concepcion.

4. The Good Son

Last Year: 7

It was 2017 when this show started airing and it has steadily risen into the ranks as one of the more heartfelt and compelling series as the episodes go on. As usual Joshua Garcia continues to leave his mark as one of the best new young actors of this generation.

5. La Luna Sangre

Last Year: 2

This Kathniel successful TV series may have closed its curtains in March of 2018 but even with only few months aired in the past year, it still belongs in this list as one of the best seryes. The addition of Angel Locsin and Richard Gutierrez together with rising star Tony Labrusca also made this show a must-watch.

6. Kadenang Ginto

Last Year: N/A

Relatively new and just started airing October of 2018, this series has already generated much buzz and fanfare. Starring a stellar cast that includes Albert Martinez, Beauty Gonzalez and Dimples Romana, this series is also joined by a young talented cast that includes Francine Diaz and Andrea Brilliantes. Your afternoons aren't complete without your daily dose of this series.

7. Wildflower

Last Year: 4

Maja Salvador's breakthrough series "Wildflower" ended in February of 2018 but fans are still buzzing over this gritty series which kept fans glued to their TV screens.

8. Precious Hearts Romances: Araw Gabi

Last Year: N/A

ABS-CBN usually takes risk in pairing its stars on series and they did it once again with Araw Gabi. Based on the novel by Martha Cecilia, this series pits JM De Guzman with relative newbie Barbie Imperial as lead stars. 

9. It's Showtime

Last Year: 8

Already in its 9th year, It's Showtime continues to be one of the most watched shows of the Kapamilya Network. The seemingly great chemistry between the hosts makes it a fun and enjoyable watching habit every lunch time.

10. Ang Probinsyano

Last Year: 5

The Coco Martin action series has already crossed its 3rd year marking it as one of the longer running teleseryes of all-time. The show has magnificently reignited the interest in action shows in the Philippines and has proven a great platform for veteran stars trying to make showbiz returns.

11. Ngayon At Kailanman

Last Year: N/A

Joshua Garcia this time joins his on-screen partner Julia Barretto to star in this Kapamilya teleserye. This is a welcome development for their fans who are clamoring for more of this cute pairing.

12. Playhouse

Last Year: N/A

In the past few years, the morning block before It's Showtime has proven to be a good ratings giant for the Kapamilya network and in 2018 they decided to pair up Angelica Panganiban and Zanjoe Marudo in this light-hearted family series.

13. Banana Sundae

Last Year: 23

Banana Sundae do not have the smoothest history in TV as they have been frequently moved from one time slot to another but it being part of ABS-CBN's Sunday afternoon block has been its best so far. With the combined comedic prowess of Angelica Panganiban, John Pratts, Jason Gainza, Pooh, Pokwang, Ryan Bang, Jobert Austria, JC De Vera and most recent addition Wacky Kiray, there is definitely no dull Sunday moment.

14. MMK

Last Year: 11

This drama anthology has been airing ever since 1991 and it has never ceased to give us great episodes of drama, comedy and sometimes even horror. This is the show that has been graced by talented actors and actresses from all generations.

15. Pusong Ligaw

Last Year: 16

Pusong Ligaw ended in January of 2018 but was enough to put it in this list. With a stellar cast Beauty Gonzalez, Bianca King, Sofia Andres, Diego Loyzaga, Enzo Pineda, Joem Bascon and Raymond Bagatsing, this was certainly one of Kapamilya's risk that paid off.

16. Tonight with Boy Abunda

Last Year: 35

Late night viewing would not be complete without Tito Boy and his show has withstood the test of times and has been a wonderful breath of fresh air in a local TV filled with seryes and dramas. This talk show has been a famous site for the best and trending celebrities of today.

17. Asintado

Last Year: N/A

Julia Montes returned to the small screen with action drama together with Shaina Magdayao and Paulo Avelino. It also served as the first major role for Aljur Abrenica in the Kapamilya network after years of being part of GMA-7.

18. Precious Hearts Romances: Los Bastardos

Last Year: N/A

This new series may have created a lot of buzz much so with the hot and sexy guys who were put into cast. We get to see Jake Cuenca, Marco Gumabao, Albie Casiño, Joshua Colet, Joseph Marco and Diego Loyzaga do their acting chops while occasionally showing their great bods as well and we surely were not complaining.

19. Pinoy Big Brother:Otso

Last Year: N/A

The newest edition of PBB promised to be bigger than ever and it certainly is turning out to be a great mine for new and upcoming stars for the Kapamilya network.

20. Gandang Gabi Vice

Vice Ganda continues to lord over the late Sunday evening block and he is not showing any signs of slowing down.

Here are the rest of the best TV pleasures of 2018.
