The Final Moments (short film)

The Final Moments is a 2022 drama short film produced by GMA Pictures, intended to depict Alicia's final moments during the climax of #JusticeForLove: End of the World. It was released on GMA Network's official YouTube channel on March 18, 2022.

Plot
Immediately after Clara's impact in central France, Alicia spends the last 12 hours of her life with Romina's sister Corazon in Manila, while realizing that some of the random individuals she met, including the couple in Saipan, Catherine in Honolulu, and Mylene in San Francisco, actually cared for her and were thankful that they met her.

Production
In earlier drafts of #JusticeForLove: End of the World, there were additional scenes that is set in Sacramento depicting its destruction, along with Mylene's death scene, but this sequence was removed in later revisions by Toho.

The prequel series Justice for Love Presents: The Obsession restores many of the removed elements from the finished film while further giving character development to Alicia and Ethan. However, the extended climax sequence was never included in the series, and it immediately ends where the film begins.

To further complete the duology, GMA Pictures decided to create a 15-minute short film that focuses on Alicia's final moments, as Alicia is the lead protagonist of the duology, and Manila was one of the last areas on Earth reached by the global firestorm, while adding characters that were initially introduced in the prequel series.

Release
The short film was released only less than a week after GMA Network confirmed that Yasmien Kurdi was cast in the upcoming Philippine adaptation of the 2020 Korean series Start-Up.
