The May 26th & 27th episodes of 100 Days to Heaven should teach us forgiveness as written in Matthew 18: 21, “So also my heavenly Father will do to every one of you, if you do not forgive your brother from your heart." And Luke 17:3, “Pay attention to yourselves! If your brother sins against you rebuke him and if he repents forgive him.”
On this recent episode of 100 Days to Heaven, they focused on reconciliation among brothers. Young Anna Manalastas (Xyriel Manabat) is still uneasy pondering about her past life when she created a conflict against brothers. Her treacherous plan was to make Roel and Jojo Villanueva fight each other through betrayal of trust when she set up a meeting with Jojo, telling him to resign from his position in her own office. But she also called Roel to set up for another meeting that he would see his brother Jojo so that he may think that he is betraying his own company for a price, and she succeeded this time. Now her mission is reconciliation among brothers. With the help of Sophia who concluded that her mission was to have Roel and Jojo see their father reconciled before he died.
Sophia’s plan was to call both brothers to handle a Singaporean account. Basically her plan was a proposal of reconciliation of both Jojo and Roel. And so they met, and they were both shocked that it was not a new Singaporean account but a for them to meet. And so as usual both brothers almost walked out from the meeting until young Anna prevented them telling that they should reconcile for the sake of their father who is sick and dying and that both brothers are needed by their father if they want his immediate relief. Both brothers thought that the plan was crazy, to think that it was enunciated by a child.
Unbelievably both brothers have both agreed that they will pretend to reconcile only in front of their sick father who was on a hospital during those times, and nothing more.
Anna Manalastas chastised them on how can they can say such a thing to a dying man without the feeling of guilt in their hearts. Sophia again concluded that Anna should have the heart to tell the truth. And so both brothers have shown respect on each other in front of their dying father. When Jojo talked personally, the old man told him that during his younger years, he was the one who was sickly. When their mother died, he made a promise that he will take care of them. That’s the reason why both brothers have not grown closer than they should be. There is some gap of jealousy and longing in the heart of Roel. However, the old man says he is both proud of his sons.
The old man talked personally to Anna and thanked her for the help she has given him for the reconciliation among his sons. He couldn’t thank her enough. The old have long fought for his sickness because of his two sons and now that he finally found that his sons are back again as brothers and treat each other’s such, he can die happily. Young Anna upon hearing those words was alarmed but relief, reminding the old man to not worry about death for she has seen heaven and he should be there for he is a good man. The old man can’t help but to laugh to a young girl of seven years of age talking about heaven.
Anna thought that her mission is accomplished but Sophia told her that it wasn’t since both brothers were just pretending in front of their dying father and nothing more, but Anna still insists that she is indeed successful since the old man thought that his two sons has reconciled.
Anna continuously thought that the only thing she has to worry about is the Singaporean account she has promised to Roel and Jojo. It was during those times when the nurse was yelling that Mr. Villanueva, the old man, was experiencing a major problem in breathing and that the old man is dying. The old man was dead when both brothers have arrived. Young Anna pretended to feel that she is successful in her mission since the man has gotten his last wish of reconciliation among brothers and that he died contented when he saw his sons back with respect among each other.
