What will you do if you find out that you’re not heading to heaven after you die? For Madam Anna Manalastas (Coney Reyes), she bargained with the Tagabantay, or the gatekeeper of heaven, to give her a second chance to live again for her to be able to make amends with people whom she mistreated and to rectify all her wrongdoings when she was still alive. Tagabantay agreed, but there was a catch: she had to fulfill her mission within 100 days while she was in her childhood form (Xyriel Manabat).In her quest to redeem herself, Anna was helped by a young boy named Kevin (Louise Abuel) and his family, who didn’t only take her into their humble abode but also assisted her in carrying out her missions. In the end, she was not only able to accomplish her tasks, but she was also able to find her estranged biological daughter, who turned out to be her accomplice Sophia (Jodi Sta. Maria).Being able to go back to life and in her child form indeed allowed Anna to feel the love, learn the life values, and experience the things she didn’t get to do due to the circumstances she went through when she was young.Through her journey in “100 Days To Heaven,” viewers were reminded about the value of love, forgiveness, and sacrifice, as well as of being kind to others and enjoying life to the fullest.
