ABS-CBN’s action-suspense teleserye The Iron Heart has benefited greatly from the pre-program, FPJ’s Batang Quiapo (FPJBQ).
On Wednesday, February 15, the Kapamilya action-suspense series The Iron Heart recorded its all-time high ratings of 7.1 percent based on the Nielsen NUTAM People rating report.
Previously, the Richard Gutierrez-starrer only averaged five to six percent before FPJBQ entered into the Primetime Bida line-up.
Boosted by its pre-programming FPJBQ, The Iron Heart also made a big jump in the rating chart as it moved up to the number 8 spot from its previous 11th to 12th ranking.
The record-breaking episode, meanwhile, featured the fist fight between Apollo (Gutierrez) and Eros (Jake Cuenca), organized by their respective bosses, Selene and Orcus, which earned good reactions from the netizens.

@pricessfrance on the other hand tweeted about the intense scene and acting from the two lead actors especially Jake Cuenca’s character Eros.
“Ang HOT ng Apollo-Eros #TIHSparring hindi lang dahil sa kanilang sexy bodies, kundi dahil sa intensity ng emotions, lalo na ni Eros. Ayaw patalo. Laging may gustong patunayan. #TheIronHeart”
