Broadcast history
It was broadcast and co-produced by RPN on September 7, 1987, as a replacement to another TAPE-produced drama Heredero. It is aired at 1:30 pm right after TV show Eat Bulaga!. When RPN, along with its sister company IBC, was sequestrated in 1989, Agila, with Eat Bulaga!, Coney Reyes on Camera from RPN and Okay Ka, Fairy Ko! from IBC, was moved to ABS-CBN on February 20 and it started to be co-produced and broadcast that year. It made its final episode on February 7, 1992, for four years.
From then on, Agila was sold by TAPE Inc's successors (APT Entertainment and TVJ Productions) to ABS-CBN Studios.
