From ratings war to a battle for Twitter supremacy.

Before the airing of the kickoff of its sixth anniversary celebration, It’s Showtime’s official Twitter hashtag #ShowtimeKapamilyaDay has reached more than three million tweets.

The episode is expected to be buoyed by the presence of some of ABS-CBN’s biggest celebrities like Kathryn Bernardo, Daniel Padilla, James Reid, Nadine Lustre, Enrique Gil, Liza Soberano, Julia Montes, Coco Martin, Kim Chiu and Kris Aquino. They will join mainstays Anne Curtis, Vice Ganda, Karylle, Billy Crawford and Vhong Navarro, who also enjoy a huge following on social media sites.

It’s Showtime is also expecting a lift from its own reality series featuring “Pastillas Girl.”

While this is a Twitter record for ‘It’s Showtime,’ its rival “Eat Bulaga” has been making a killing in Twitter recently thanks to its hit “Kalyeserye” segment featuring the split-screen “AlDub” love team of Alden Richards and Maine “Yaya Dub” Mendoza.

As of 11 a.m., the hashtag #AlDubEBforLove has hit the 11-million mark on Twitter.
