The finale of 'Lolong: Pangil ng Maynila' left viewers with a mix of emotions as it wrapped up with a gripping and intense episode filled with sacrifice, redemption, and unanswered mysteries.

The last episode depicted Donatella (Jean Garcia) making a heart-wrenching decision to end the life of her son Ivan (Martin Del Rosario), leading to her descent into madness and eventual confinement in a mental hospital, still holding on to the belief that Ivan was alive.

On the other hand, Julio (John Arcilla), the once antagonist turned hero, made the ultimate sacrifice by giving his life to protect Lolong (Ruru Madrid).

As Lolong teetered between life and death, he had a poignant encounter with Julio in a dreamlike state, where forgiveness was sought.

After a brief moment where Lolong was pronounced dead, he miraculously came back to life, holding Elsie's (Shaira Diaz) hand with glowing green eyes, showcasing his heroic return.

The emotional rollercoaster was balanced with a joyful celebration at Butchoy and Mimay's birthday party, where Ayana (Rabiya Mateo) surprised everyone by joining in with a cake and festivities.

However, the story did not conclude there. In a symbolic moment, Lolong and Elsie introduced Butchoy and Mimay to Dakila, the giant crocodile who had become their protector and friend, hinting at a deeper connection.

A mysterious twist came when Lola Grasya (Tessie Tomas) noticed Baby Julia's eyes glowing gold, leaving viewers with an unanswered tease of what might come next.

The cast of 'Lolong' gathered for a viewing party to mark the end of the season, with Ruru expressing a mix of emotions, grateful for the journey and the bond created by the show.
