In its gripping finale week, Lolong (Ruru Madrid) pushed the limits, putting his life on the line to protect everyone he holds dear. Elsie (Shaira Diaz) confronted even more perilous new challenges, once again falling into the terrifying hands of Ivan (Martin del Rosario).Adding to the excitement, Lolong's extraordinary friend, Dakila, made a powerful return, setting the stage for a pivotal turning point in the battle for good.As the series draws to a close, Ruru offers viewers an exciting sneak peek into what awaits them.“Very nostalgic kasi parang bumabalik din ‘yung Season 1. May mga eksena kaming ginawa na kung papaano namin shinoot noong Season 1 na kaming dalawa ni Elsie, ngayon nadagdagan na kami. Meron kaming napag-agreehan na isang eksena na parang never ko pang napapanood ‘yon sa tanang buhay ko,” said the Primetime Action Hero.Beyond the action, Ruru shared Lolong’s influence on his personal life, crediting the series for shaping him into a tougher and more resilient artist.“Etong Lolong ‘yung nagpabago talaga sa buhay ko — hindi lang sa pagiging artista, kundi sa pagiging tao. Sa kabila ng lahat ng binabato sa’yo ng mundo, na bigla kang magkaka-injury, biglang magkaka-pandemic, biglang magkakaroon ng kung ano mang aksidente —‘yun ‘yung mga nagsisilbing lakas sa akin sa akin para lalong pagbutihin ang mga ginagawa ko.”
