Although on Wednesday, November 16, the Kapamilya teleserye encountered a bump as it went down by 0.3% to 4.9%.

The pilot week featured Apollo’s backstory and the consequences that led to his current life.
Played by Kyle Echarri as the young Apollo, the pilot episodes introduced him as an upright young man solely raised by his father (Al Tantay). His quest for justice and revenge started with the death of his father during a bus hold-up by the lowly members of the Tatsulok criminal syndicate, which he will soon infiltrate with the help of his benefactor, played by Maricel Laxa.
The Iron Heart also stars Maja Salvador, Albert Martinez, Dimples Romana, Jake Cuenca, and Sue Ramirez, among others.
