Status: Existence Unconfirmed

"Fake Doomsday", also known as "Hoax Doomsday" are names given to a certain lost Filipino PSA about the biblical end times prophecy, particularly that of the number of the beast. It is still unknown who created the PSA as well as their motives, though given the nature of the ad it is likely to be from a fundamentalist Christian group.

Premise

The ad starts with the word "RAPTURE" with a date on the bottom of the screen with the picture of Jesus Christ resurrecting in the background. What follows is a slide show of disturbing pictures during the Holocaust. Eyewitnesses described the people in the pictures are bald, pale, and skinny with some of them dragged by their necks. The number "666" with a black font and an off-white background and what follows are photos of people with the number 666 on their forehead in the middle to end part of the PSA. The PSA said to end with a picture of Jesus Christ floating resurrecting in Galilee. The PSA has ominous background music and a voiceover, with "This Is A Paid Advertisement" shown on the bottom part of the ad throughout it.

Availability and Speculation

The commercial exclusively aired on IBC-13 during Top 10 Movie Trailers of the Week in the early 1990s, presumably 1991-1992 along with PCSO "Sino Sila" commercial.

It is unknown what is the purpose of this PSA, with some speculating that it could be a fake ad made by agents provocateur to shock unwitting viewers; others, however, speculate that it came from a fundamentalist Christian organisation that sincerely believed in Millennialism not unlike the later Rapture end times campaign spearheaded by the late Harold Camping back in 2011.
