Based on a press release, How to Move On in 30 Days follows the story of Racal’s character where she promises herself to move on from her ex-boyfriend after dumping her.

Other cast members also include Jai Agpangan, Kyo Quijano, Sherry Lara, Sachzna Laparan, Poppert Bernadas, Hanie Harrar, Elyson De Dios, and James Bello.
