After pushing Lakas to the other side, however, Ganda decided to stay behind, apparently to obstruct Sarimaw&#x27;s pursuit.</p><p>A helpless Lakas could only watch from the other side of the portal, which wouldn&#x27;t let him back out.</p><p>&quot;Buoin mo ulit ang mga Bagani.

Some theorized Sarimaw brought her to Lakam, or that the bright light was from Ganda&#x27;s patron, the mythical diwata Makiling.</p><p>However, viewers also observed that the subsequent scene of Dilag (Precious Lara Quigaman), Ganda&#x27;s sibling, was akin to grieving.
