Well-loved primetime series Start-Up PH wraps up with a heartwarming and surprising finale on GMA Network this Friday, Dec. 23.

The program is bannered by Asia's Multimedia Star Alden Richards as Tristan and multi-awarded actress and box-office icon Bea Alonzo as Dani, with highly-talented actress Yasmien Kurdi as Ina and sought-after and award-winning Kapuso actor Jeric Gonzales as Dave.

Directed by Dominic Zapata and Jerry Sineneng, the star-studded cast also features Gabby Eigenmann, Kim Domingo, Ayen Munji-Laurel, Jackie Lou Blanco, Boy2 Quizon, Royce Cabrera, Niño Muhlach, Lovely Rivero, Kevin Santos, Tim Yap, Kaloy Tingcungco, Brianna, Gianna Llanes, and Ms. Gina Alajar, with the special participation of Neil Ryan Sese.

As the show nears its ending, Dave admits to Tristan that he still loves Dani and even threatens to steal her back. Hence, it triggers Tristan and the two get into a scuffle. Dani finds out about their fight and gets disappointed at Tristan. Is it goodbye for Tristan and Dani or will their love remain strong against all odds?

Meanwhile, Spencer (Kaloy) apologizes to his stepsister, Ina, for everything he has done to try ruining her career. Ina convinces him to expose the truth behind the hackers of Future PH. Will Arnold (Gabby) be held accountable for all his wrongdoings?
