Overview

This show has been developed by Mga Anghel na Walang Langit, Princess Sarah, May Bukas Pa, Agua Bendita, Momay, and Mutya due to genre of family and religious-oriented drama series where Dreamscape Entertainment released these types of series since 2005. It co-existed with Budoy from October 10 to November 18, 2011, and was succeeded by Ikaw ay Pag-Ibig on November 21, 2011.

On March 14, 2020, during the past eight years after the end of the show's original airing on November 18, 2011, ABS-CBN announced that 100 Days to Heaven will be re-airing on Primetime Bida beginning on March 16, 2020, temporarily replacing Pamilya Ko as part of the network's special programming block during the Enhanced community quarantine in Luzon done to stop the spread of the COVID-19 pandemic in the Philippines which necessitated the network to suspend teleserye tapings.[3]

However, the re-runs were moved to 5:05 pm as the network decided to give the timeslot to a rerun of Meteor Garden's 2018 remake.[4]

This rerun was abruptly cut due to the temporary closure of ABS-CBN's free to air stations following the cease and desist order issued by the National Telecommunications Commission on account of its franchise expiration.[5] It also had a rerun in 2015 on YouTube which includes all 140 episodes.[6]

Premise

Anna Manalastas (Coney Reyes) is the dictator of a toy company that she built. In the past, she was a smart and talented little girl who never saw her mother. Her father mistreats and threatens her whenever she tries to impress him, although the actions of her father were out of discipline. She got pregnant later in her life, and for this her father got very mad. At her father's deathbed, she was taught how humans can never be capable of goodness.

After giving birth, Anna gave her daughter away since she did not think she could adequately raise the child and provide proper love and support for her. She then grows up to be mean, selfish, obnoxious and greedy due to her troubled past. Later on she was killed in a car explosion, an orchestrated "accident" which was planned by her most trusted employee's (Bobby) wife, Miranda. As she was about to be condemned to hell, Tagabantay, the gatekeeper of heaven, gives her a second chance after bargaining. She gets a chance to live again and make amends with those whom she wronged while still alive, but as a child, and for only 100 days.

In her quest for redemption, she'll be helped by people she thought were insignificant, and eventually run into her own daughter who will prove crucial to her own mission. Little did she know also that aside from changing for the greater good, Anna was also sent back to life in the last days of her moment, to also find love and peace that was never given to her on her early days, including to discover who is her real daughter.
