100 Most Read PEP Breaking News

Author: Karen A. Pagsolingan

Kapuso princess Marian Rivera is the most in-demand topic this year, while Gretchen Barretto is a fascinating subject to the readers. According to the data generated by PEP (Philippine Entertainment Portal) from Google Analytics, any story about these two women could launch thousands of page views.

Even the most trivial stuff about the Dyesebel star, such as her fractured toe, was deemed a worthy read by the PEPsters. On the other hand, La Greta's saga about her highly publicized yet unconfirmed affair with government official Dody Puno was closely chased by showbiz aficionados.

Rifts, breakups, deaths, network transfer-related issues, and oddity prove to be staples in the readers' "Things to View" list.

The controversial tiffs of Claudine Barretto and Angel Locsin, Cristy and Nadia Montenegro, Sunshine Cruz and her sister-in-law Maria Mercedes "Ched" Manhilot-Cantu, and the "almost-physical" encounter between Richard Gutierrez and Aljur Abrenica, Bubble Paraiso and Jewel Mische, and two socialites Patricia Panlilio-Cu-unjieng and Neny Montinola attracted a lot of readers to the site.

Indeed, Pinoys love anything that has an element of drama. Even Kris Aquino's "pa-star ka" comment on Charlene Gonzalez made it to the "Hot" issue list.

Meanwhile, readers don't want to be left out when it comes to the main reason of showbiz splits: Did Marian figure in the breakup of Karylle and Dingdong? Why did Heart Evangelista suddenly call it quits with Jericho Rosales? What prompted Dennis Trillo to end his relationship with Cristine Reyes? Why did Sheryl Cruz and Norman Bustos file for divorce? And so, readers log on to the site.

Now, that's just to give you a gist of the entire picture.

PEP painstakingly compared the numbers, from January 1 to December 18, to bring you our Most Read list, based on page views (each time a user visits a web page) and Unique Page Views (number of different visitors a website receives in a given time period).
