So, why is Machete getting clobbered in the ratings by the competition? Isn’t the presence alone of a sexy Aljur Abrenica enough to carry the show to great heights in the ratings game? Despite the heavy buzz about a half-naked Aljur in the show, the viewership results are coming in poorly. Maybe the idea of a man in a loincloth roaming the city is just not clicking enough for the tv audience, who are really looking forward to more fantasy, more action and less drama.

  1. and i heard machete will be aired like-18 weeks ONLY.. Tsk tsk tsk… Poor aljur, prepared many years for a show na 18 weeks lang…. Next thing to do-get naked…. Bwahahahah

  2. May dalang malas lagi yung TH na Bela Padilla kasi. Na Jinx tuloy si Aljur. Tanggalin nila yang babaeng yan at mag iimprove ang ratings ng Machete pramis!

  4. boses PEKPEK kasi si aljur kaya siguro na turn-off yung mga viewers. sige, sabihin na natin na toned nga katawan niya, pero meron naman ibang shows na may mga guys na mas may magandang katawan. besides, hindi rin naman siya gwapo. i dont know why ang daming bulag dito sa pinas.

    Aljur:

    Boses Pekpek
    Jologs
    Pangit
    Twink

  5. aljur is all hype….jologs po siya…walang class…..his hype is ending…….wala naman talaga siyang fanbase…yung mga baklang may blog lang ang nag hahype sa kanya…….kaya nga hindi umabot ng isang milyon ang movie niya diba…..

  6. Before this alam naman nating TV Star siya (kasi flop ang movie niya so hindi siya movie star) kasi pumatok ang sopa niya with Kris Bernal.So bakit palpak ang Machete? Possible reasons: Fluke ang ratings success ng previous soap niya, mas gusto ng tao ang loveteam with Kris Bernal, ang audience niya ay afternoon viewers not primetime, pangit ang material ng Machete, his body is not enough to lure viewers etc. Kahit maghubad pa siya, hindi kikita ang show niya kung pangit talaga ang show. TV is different from modeling. Although a hot body can ensure na marami kang billboards for Bench, covers for magazines, drooling fans from websites, A hot body can not guarantee success on TV or movies. In conclusion, walang hot body at malaking bukol si John Lloyd Cruz. Yun na.

  7. i know nasabi ko na to one time among the many features on aljur. i will not deny na aljur is cute, handsome, may dating, hunk, sexy, sarap maka sex,etc. pero sabi ko nga nun, it has to be just part of the total package na dapat gawin ng siete kay aljur. di naman ganun pa (ok, sa mga die hard aljur fans out there, take note ha, sabi ko “pa” meaning as of this time meaning puedeng magbago later) kagaling umarte, and as many here is saying, pangit mag project ng boses (i’d rather say it that way than how some would in fact label it more grossly), perhaps also mali ang piniling leading lady nya, etc. total packaging na sure winner, yan ang kailangan ni aljur.

  8. ito nnman ako..haaaay….algorrilla xa..dpat kingkong ang title ng series nya..duh…yan ang napapala pg tinatapat xa ky gerald nmin…khit ipakita pa nya ang wetpaks nya o ang itets nyang saksakn ng itim.maybe yun n ang last resort nya to showcase sumting different if ever di n xa bigyan ng big project….xa n ang nxt flopstruck after mark,mike hahahahah…

  9. ang inaabangan kasi sa machete kaya sikat ito noong araw eh yun nota ni machete! ginawa kasi nilang madrama ang machete ngayun!

  10. Probably because of the storyline.
    Have you seen Alakdana?
    The worst!
    Viewers might probably become bored of the story.
    All drama, no action becomes too unrealistic or boring.

  11. nice body yun lng…. just like other GMA leadin men masasarap, magaganda ang hubog ng katawan.. ngunit d naman magaling sa acting….ang ABS-CBN naman magagaling ang acting….pero halos lahat mga beki.. hehehehehehe

  12. pangit kase istorya ng machete, tama na kasi yung mang api ng pangit, sampalan,sabunutan. Bigyan ng magandang material si aljur makakabawi di yan.

  13. no offense mga ateng, he’s ugly in this pic!!!!!! bwahahahaha!!!!

    @machete, heller!!! kahoy kasi ang acting noh!!!!!!! pak!!!!!!!!!!

    at nakakatawa kayo mga ateng para sisihin si bella padilla!!!!! bwahahahaha!!!!!! as in LOL na LOL talaga!!!!!!! bwahahahaha!!!! pak!!!!

  14. ANG DAMI NIYO PAng sinasabi… bottomline..FLOPTSINA ang MACHETE in contrast to the overwhelming comments here na hindi mo alam kung pano ginenerate (malamang isa o dalawang tao lang yun) kapag si aljur ang nakapost. well anyway. may itsura siya andun na tyo pero ARTISTA ang HANAP hindi lang basta ARTISTAHIN.. show us some talent not just skin.-tye

  15. E kase naman ang chaka gumawa ng series ng GMA, bad acting, plus bad story, pati audio bad, na overcome ng bg music yung dialogue. Si Regine nga idol ko,di ko nga pipan0od series,c0z I don’t like their plots so impossible. Ang series na lang ng Kapamilya pinagtatyagaan ko. Medyo imposible at unreachable minsan pero good production. Good lang ha! Hay kung sana mga series d2 s Pilipinas tulad sa labas, once a week, para di maxadong boring. At para di maubusan ng ideas ang mga writers. Lastly, mga series kase natin d2 kng hndi remake, fantaserye, kng hndi fantaserye, total drama, as in drama talaga na telen0vela ang dating, so baduy! At ang tamis na ng loveteam m0ments ha. Magkakadiabetes na mga manunuod ha. Quite cheesy. Parang yung cheesy loveteam m0ments at ang ‘di ka totoong anak-ampon ka lang’ or ‘nagkahiwalay kami ni kuya or ni ate or ni m0my’ m0ments palagng major weapon ng mga teleserye ha. Hay ewan! Hope to see naman sana mga stories that comes from slice of life. Simple lang pero interesting at charming ng plot at characters. OK I’ve already said much. Machete lg pinagusapan pero maraming sinabi. hahaha. kase c0nnected silang lahat. So I’ll stop na here.

  16. 18 weeks lang ba?
    that is still 4-1/2 months
    hanggang end of April, early May pa ang show
    hay
    ang tagal ko pang titiisin si ryza at bela

  17. i agree with u guys! mas magaling tlga gumawa ng teleserye ang abs-cbn kesa gma. kya nga s bhay, mula mutya, mara clara, imortal at green rose, nkatutok tlga kmi. d ko lng alam kung totoo yung nilabas ng gma s broadsheet n cla n ang no.1 nationwide accdg to nielsen. pero accdg. to kantar, abs-cbn ang no.1 nationwide. personally, i think mas reliable ang kantar kesa s nielsen.

  18. noon pa naman di bagay kay aljur yung machete…. who is his audience? mga beki? kahit nga beki ibang channel manood ku lang pa rin, hanap ng tao ngayon, pera like gameshow, fantasy para mga bata, drama teens at young at hearts, iba pa… we must admit good looks at charm siya, pero walang acting at di bagay ang role sa kanya. kawawa aljur na biktima siya ng maling role….

  19. I find machete mejo corny..tsaka its all abut the katawan of aljur.cguro kasi ndi bagy ke aljur ung role.curo kasi ndi xa ung first choice i think mas bagay ke jc devera.tapos ung kontrabida is paulo avelino.

  20. A wooden performance deserves an axe… chop chop away!

    His alluring body is not enough to lure sensible viewers to watch his show. Why should they torture themselves watching a wood desperately trying to act?

    GMA’s old cheap ways of trying to make a star the easy way – by sheer popularity – would not work anymore. They were able to get away with it a few years ago but not anymore. TV viewers are more discerning now.

    GMA was oh so proud & paraded Aljur’s body in promoting the show & even hyped his preparation to get such body but they forgot one thing — to give him acting workshop! And we have seen the result… a wooden performance!

    As they say, a wood is a wood. It maybe hard but it is still a wood.

  21. tama yung nagcomment na isa dyan. mahina talaga ang dating ng mga tele nobela na gma. yung mga afternoon soaps nila – napanood na ba nyo ang alakdana? omg, nagkataon lang na bakla ako so siempre, yung mga gwapong mukha ng mga male stars lang ang rason bakit ko pinapanood. yung little star din nuon, ewan ko ba, ang babaw ng pag arte. ngayon, yung koreana, nakaka umay na. so back to machete. hinog sa pilit ang storyline ng machete na pilit pinababagay sa image ni aljur pero di talaga magawang iangat sa ratings. dito lang ata sa blog ni rd nagri rate si aljur kasi siguradong maraming comments nagegenerate niya.

  22. Maganda katawan pero walang appeal tyaka walang kwenta umarte. Sex sells, pero kung panay sex lang at wala namang sense, wala din. Bella is meh. Ryza SUCKS. Tyaka filler lang naman ang Machete para sa Captain Barbel. Low din budget nito. Di malaking kawalan ng GMA kung lumagapak to sa ratings.

  23. Kaya kung ako sa GMA if they want to make it really really really BIG they SHOULD SET TRENDS, NOT FOLLOW THEM! Palagi na lang nila sinusunod ang flow at set-up ng Kapamilya. Medyo kaumay na nga minsan set-up ng Kapamilya pina-follow pa nila. Remember sa panahon ngayon, GOOD IS THE NEW BAD!

  24. Because it’s a STUPID show with STUPID writers and STUPID wanna-be actors with STUPID production design backed by a STUPID script.

    Everything about MACHETE is STUPID and IDIOTIC!

    Isama mo pa ang bagong STUPID show na NITA NEGRITA, an exploitation of Indigenous people.

    Stupid shows, politically incorrect storylines. Load of shit.

  25. i love aljur, but not enough to suffer the bad scripting and direction of Machete. Result : MACHAKA! Just listen to the inane lines mouthed by its characters. GMA wake up, fire your writers! they write BAD scripts. FIRE YOUR DIRECTORS, they execute bad scenes! Parang palaging nagmamadaling magpack-up.

  26. dahil hamon umakting si aljur…
    may malas sa katauhan ni bela padilla…
    maganda na yung katapat na mara clara…

  27. IF GUSTONG MAGRATE NG MACHETE.. magshoot sila ng episode na nakasilip ang etits ni aljur tiyak yun. miski na mamiss mo…aabangan mo uli ang chances of repeating a fake accidental shoot

  28. here i go again, a die-hard kapamilya. i still maintain aljur is the sexiest and the fittest to portray machete. yet, is machete a good television vehicle? katawan ang binebenta dyan. aljur’s body can drum up the hype but it will not bring the ratings because you can only show so much of aljur’s godly physique. and let’s stop being petty in blaming the tug ladies, or the lack of talent of the cast in general. even my dear abs cbn have produced hits out of some talent-less stables. why? because abs-cbn has superb creative units: directors, writer pool, set designers, and marketing. gma is so stupid in this area. if they produce one “good” director, they start to overrate him (hindi ako magpapangalan dahil wala namang kasalanan yung direktor). gma has to enlist the services of real creative people. stop employing patronage!

  29. panget ang themes, nakakaumay, bakit mas pinapanuod ang koreanovela? walang sakitan, murahan, patayan at samapalan na OA or not really needed….temptation of wife nalang…makakapatay kana sa inis pero wala ako mashado nakikita sampalan at murahan…even if its dubbed in tagalog, dito satin yan eksena susme umaatikabong sampalan sabunutan at kidnap parape at barilan ultimo ng mga babae ang gagawin natin….basta panget at walang growth and philippine cinemas and telenovelas kaya ending flop lahat!

  30. eh kasi isinama si Padilla don, konti na nga lang ang appeal nitong si Aljur, dumagdag ba ang nakakaimbyernang Bela yan. Si Rayza naman wala ding fan base, pangit din ang material…at yeah, bokes pusi si Aljur.

  31. the machete tv series doesnt center on machete. the motivation of the film is centered on the character of aginaya. even the intention of the main antagonist is all about aginaya. the central conflict of the series is about aginaya. poor aljur, he was just made as decorative device. this series should be called aginaya.

  32. Speaking of Captain Barbell, it is funny they casted Jillian Ward – the way they casted Eugene Domingo for My Valentine Girls. LOL

  33. overall, nasa top 5 ang machete. talo lang sya sa katapat nyang maraclara.

    18 weeks lang sya dahil amaya na ang kasunod. alam ng lahat yan from the start pa lang.

    machete is machete.
    aljur is aljur.
    period!

  34. WE LOVE ALJUR,,LAKAS NG APIL AT MAGALING UMARTE….MGA NEGA KAYO,,WALANG VALUES,,,TLAGA NAMANNG MEANT TO BE FOR 4MOS LANG ANG MACHETE,….FYI,…OK

    I AGREE,,,DAPAT HINDI SI BELLA PADILLA ANG LEADING LADY NYA,,WALANG APIL AT PILIT NA GANDA,..MMAS OK SI GWEN ZAMORA O NADINE SAMONTE…DIBA,,

    FYI,,TALAGANG 4MOS LANGPO MACHETE OK,,BAGO I AIR,..OK..

  35. baka kung ung writers ng machete e magaling magsulat ng storyline at script tulad ng writers ng news and current affairs programs ng kapuso network, may mangyayari pa..

    panget material, panget ang reputation ni aljur,panget mga dialogues..

    complete revamp!

    i am a kapuso fan but if there’s one word to describe mga telenovelas nila, its TRAPO!! pwede din pala magka TRAPO sa entertainment..

    sana magkaron sila ulit ng non-adapt telenovelas like MAJIKA and ENCANTADIA…

  36. DEAR ALL CAPS,

    FYI, ANG PANGET NG ISTORYA NG MACHETE. SAYANG ANG TALENT NG MGA ARTISTA. GIVEN 4 MOS (16 WEEKS) TO RUN, SA PALAGAY MO KUNG NO. 1 YAN DAHIL SA SOBRANG GANDA NG STORY, SCRIPT AT EXECUTION HINDI YAN I-EXTEND NG MANAGEMENT NG GMA? PERO DAHIL PANGET TALAGA, SIGURO MAS IIKSI PA KASI TALO SA RATING.

  37. hindi na kasi naka move on ang gma sa mga fantaserye.. i mean yun ka cheapan na fantaserye yun ginagawa nila.. wala ng lalim sun story, ang chaka pa ng scene, chaka pa ng dialogue!

  38. kahit pa ano ang ibigay ng syete sa inyo, isusuka ninyo.

    So what is the point here? WALA.

    JUST WATCH YOUR SHOW SA DOS

    KAMI NAMAN, PATULOY ANG PAGSAMBA KAY MACHETE. hehehe…

    oh di ba…

    as a kapuso and aljur fan, i agree. i hope aljur will jump fence one of these days. sayang ang mga talents na tulad nya.

    as a kapuso and aljur fan, i agree. i hope aljur will jump fence one of these days. sayang ang mga talents na tulad nya.

  41. this is the die-hard kapamilya. i was home last nov and to my dismay, my whole family in laguna watches gma. so i had no choice but to watch along and just sneak back to channel 2 when they were away. to be fair to gma, i saw beauty queen (was this the title of iza calzado’s show?) and thought it was better than the rival show in abs. and it didn’t have fancy sets or stories or whatever if i remember. just plain good acting, an honest story, a good attack. and on the contrary, i thought piolo’s noah sucks? i think noah and machete could have been a better face-off (though i’ve not seen machete), judging from the commenters’ views here. but then again, abs knows how to market piolo. so you see the difference…

  42. as a kapuso and aljur fan, i agree. i hope aljur will jump fence one of these days. sayang ang mga talents na tulad nya. — TALENT?? what TELENT are we talkng about here… ALJUR? TALENT?? 2 very opposing words.
    tama ka nga.. isa ka lang FAN coz u dont know how it works in the biz

  43. YUng nag.comment na hanggang 4mos. ang Machete, I think pinaikli pa nga. Matatapos na sya by March. Hehehe… Ipapasok na daw si Amaya. Kawawa naman tong Machete… Grabe pa naman ang promotion nito. Hanggang first week lng pala ang hype. Hehehe.. Better luck next time. Nice try anyway.

  44. 75 comments and counting. talagang dito lang sa blog ni rd humahataw ng comments tong si aljur. but to be fair kay rd, he allows all comments, good and bad to be printed. i like the attitude of both the kapuso and kapamilya followers who were very objective in their observations. ika nga, let us call spade a spade. i am also a kapamilya patron. but i will be the first to admit that noah was really bad. in terms of the storyline, the characters, etc. but the other reader said it correctly. abs knew how to package piolo and zaijan and how to sell them. packaging lang naman talaga yan. it will boil down to correct business sense, di ba? now if only gma can do the same. aside from machete, isa pang dapat palakulin (i-axe) na is yung dwarfina. i have two words to describe this show – trying hard.

  45. geoff eigenman and aljur pwede cla magsama… mag acting ung boses nila ang may diferrence parang innipit sa pintuan…. at kulang sa acting…… kailangang pa ng more workshop ni aljur dapat i train cya sa ABS.. tapos gawan ulit ng telenovela sa GMA na hindi naman fantaserya nakakaumay na!!!!

  46. Kita ninyo. Ang huling balita ipapasok na si Kris Bernal na dating loveteam baka sakaling madagdagan ng viewers kahit konti. AT hanggang march na raw para makapsok na si RGuts at ang kanyang 135 million movie. Ay 17 m lang pala.

  47. mahal ko si aljur, but i hate machete. kung flop man ang show, hindi lang si aljur ang dapat sisihin. unang-una yung creative head, for doing stupid things for a potentially successful show. isunod ang director na walang kontrol sa materyal niya at ang writer for writing those stupid sounding scripts!

  48. itong mga bakla dito.. kung mapanira pero deep inside libog na libog kay aljur.. kalibog libog naman kasi si aljur kesa sa ibang diyan like gerald at enchong na beklang bekla!!!

  49. you are pathetic anonymous February 18, 2011 7:44 AM. ang tanong satin was bakit sa tingin ninyo di umaangat ang ratings ng machete despite…. di naman tinanong satin kung nalilibugan ba kayo o hindi kay aljur. sana bago tayo mag komento, mag isip isip din muna tayo para di tayo nagmumukhang tanga.

  50. machete has beaten the other gma shows sa rating game. so what is the problem? mara clara is a classic kaya di natinag. let it be. do not expect aljur to make machete number one…but to be a part of the top five, more than ok na yun.

  51. I’M NOW HOOKED TO TWO TELESERYES. GMA’s ‘I HEART YOU, PARE’ AND ‘ABS-CBN’s ‘MUTYA’. WHAT I CAN SAY IS THAT, MUTYA HAS BETTER PRODUCTION VALUES, BETTER CRAFTED AND BEAUTIFULLY PHOTOGRAPHED. UNLIKE GMA’s SHOW, CHEAP ANG DATING AND VERY PATAKBUHIN. IT’S LIKE ABS-CBN IS LINO BROCKA AND GMA IS TEMYONG MARQUEZ.

  52. i am also a kapamilya fan and i like watching mutya, nakakatuwa siya panoorin. pero i will not hesitate to say na despite it being a good tv drama, nagkulang parin ang abs na dapat sana na dubbed nila ng maayos na lang sana yung mga dialogue nung mga characters lalo pag yung mga sirena and other water scenes. why? kasi nalulunod ng soung nung rippling waters yung boses ng mga characters. so you see, maski pa abs fan ako, di ko itatago kung may mali sa production nila. dapat ganon din ang gma and ang mga fans nila including machete and aljur fans. accept and admit ninyo na may mali o pagkukulang but that doesn’t mean na yung idolo niyo ay masamang tao o mahina. may pagkukulang lang na puede naman punuin.

  53. kahit ano pa sabihin ng iba, masarap si aljur! wag kayong plastik. sige nga, kung maghubad siya sa harap niyo at mag-j*kol tatanggi pa kayo?!

  54. to the first commenter:

    actually, 18 months is long enough for a soap. that’s equivalent to 4.5 months. beyond that, soaps tend to drag, unless there’s a really good sustaining plot.

  55. Aljur is really nice in person. Very amiable and accommodating, hindi suplado unlike other celebs. He certainly does not deserve the hate he’s getting from some people here.

  56. Sa latest ratings game, Mara Clara at 38% & Machete at 15%! At tuluyan na ngang inilibing ng buhay ang kalaban.

    Sorry for now, the hypes of GMA7 do not work.

    As for Aljur, ang aga at ang bilis naman ng karma noh?

  57. At biglang na-echa pwera ang timeslot ng Machete! Heto pa, last 2 weeks na lang ang show.

    Kawawang Aljur, di man lang inabot ng 2 months ang Machete nya. To think na birthday pa naman nya sa March 24.

  58. guys there’s no such thing as jinx and kahit slated for 4 weeks lang yan, kung maganda ang ratings ieextend yan no.

  59. i’ve watched one episode where aljur is about to ‘cry’ sa may park. jusko pinaulan na lang ng director para di halatang walang luha.

    mag workshop ka te.
