Pain might have hardened some parts of Apollo (Richard Gutierrez)’s heart. But it can never destroy the love he has for his family, and this is the truest definition of manliness and strength. Whether through sacrifices, a genuine hug, or anything in between, Apollo proves his big love for his family, as shown in this Kapamilya Toplist of scenes from The Iron Heart.

When Cassandra (Maja Salvador)’s death left a hole in Apollo’s heart, her sister Lia (Althea Ruedas) filled in the gap. He may be busy with his missions but ‘kuya’ duties will keep him running home. The first scene in this video montage shows Apollo surprising his family at home. Lia is the happiest whenever he takes short breaks from work. Then, Troy (Louise Abuel) joined the two in a tight group hug.

He will find extra time to spend bonding with Lia by reading stories, helping with her projects, and even teaching Cassandra’s favorite bread recipe. Then, the whole family will gather at the table to enjoy the delicious food prepared by Delia (Anna Marin).

There was a time when Delia was tempted to avail Athernity Beauty’s anti-aging products, which she didn’t know is infused with illegal substances that almost took her life. At the hospital, Apollo shared a heartwarming chat with her aunt and told her, “Ang mga ina na tulad ninyo, walang kupas ang ganda.” He expressed gratitude for Delia’s unwavering love that they feel through her cooking, warm hugs, and care. His words inspired the whole family to also express their love for their matriarch. Venus (Sue Ramirez) stood in a corner and witnessed the sweet moment.

When Troy’s rebellious phase kicked in, Apollo assured Hector (Roi Vinzon) that he will help convince Troy to come home. In another scene, he saved Troy and Cronus (Anthony Jennings) from the bad guys. If he is the hero to other people, then there’s no way he wouldn’t save his loved ones from harm.

Also in this list is the scene where he received messages from Lia, who kept on saying she misses her Kuya Pol so much. When he went home recently, Apollo made sure to give his family a tight embrace, clueless that it’ll be the last time he’s going to see one of them.

Apollo did his best to save Delia from Janus (Baron Geisler) but he arrived late. Now that Tiyang Delia is gone, under the hands of a Tatsulok member, Apollo has had more reasons to destroy the mafia group.
