The integration of popular game segments from one noontime show into another hit drama series is a clear indicator of their widespread success and influence among viewers.
This was evident in a recent episode of the GMA Network afternoon series ‘Abot Kamay Na Pangarap,’ where they featured the game ‘Tumpakners,’ previously popularized by ‘It’s Showtime.’
During a medical mission led by Analyn (Jillian Ward) in a prison setting, which included Moira (Pinky Amador), the ‘Tumpakners’ game was incorporated into the storyline. The scenario was shown in episode 459 of ‘Abot Kamay Na Pangarap’ on February 26, the game segment has since garnered significant attention and engagement from viewers.
The inclusion of ‘Tumpakners’ in ‘Abot Kamay Na Pangarap’ delighted audiences, particularly fans of ‘It’s Showtime,’ signaling a positive reception. This cross-promotion is particularly noteworthy as ‘It’s Showtime’ is also broadcasted on GTV, a sister station of GMA Network, amplifying its reach and impact.
Highlighting the current status of ‘It’s Showtime’ as the leading noontime show, its widespread viewership on GTV significantly contributes to its success.

However, the decline in ratings of ‘Tahanang Pinakamasaya,’ another GMA Network program, has left some Kapuso fans disheartened. Nevertheless, they take solace in the enduring popularity of ‘Abot Kamay Na Pangarap,’ which has remained a staple on air for two years.
