“Pyra: Ang Babaeng Apoy” outscores the programs of the rival networks on its pilot day

Based on National Urban TV Audience Measurement (NUTAM) August 26 overnight ratings gathered by the more widely recognized TV ratings supplier, Nielsen TV Audience Measurement, “Pyra: Ang Babaeng Apoy” marked an average people rating of 5.8% and ruled over its counterpart program “Bistado” (ABS-CBN) which only garnered an average of 4.0% and “Face to Face” (TV5) which only got 2.7%.

Thea Tolentino, one of Kapuso Network’s fast-rising artists, topbills the newest GMA Afternoon Prime series as she breathes life to the character of Pyra. Playing opposite her is GMA’s upcoming leading man Jeric Gonzales who plays the role of Jeffrey Calida, an uptight and perfectionist geek who will eventually fall for Pyra. The series also stars Angelu de Leon, who is reunited with Thea and Jeric following the success of the teen-oriented series Teen Gen, as she portrays the role of Merly, the fiercely protective mom of Pyra. Multi-talented TV personality Gladys Reyes plays the role of Susan Del Fierro, an achiever, go getter and someone who will not stop until she gets what she wants. Versatile actress Roxanne Guinoo plays the role of Barbara Del Fierro, the biological mother of Pyra.

Joining them are character actors Ryan Eigenmann as Daniel Del Fierro, the  domineering husband of Barbara; Christopher Roxas as Ramon, a fire breather and the biological father of Pyra; and Polo Ravales as Tito, the best friend of Daniel  who holds most of the latter’s secrets. Completing the cast are the fresh faces of drama, Elle Ramirez as Cindy Del Fierro and Zandra Summer as Ena; and adding rhythm to the series is the country’s King of Soul in an endearing depiction of Pyra’s doting mentor Sir Aidan, Mr. Janno Gibbs.

“Pyra: Ang Babaeng Apoy” fires up afternoon viewing on GMA Afternoon Prime.
