"God Gave Me You" is the Holy Wednesday episode of the 2016 edition of the annual drama anthology Eat Bulaga's Lenten Special. The episode aired on 23 March 2016 with a total runtime of 117 minutes.
Each year, the anthology replaces the noontime show's regular programming in observance of the solemnity of Holy Week. Standalone episodes of short dramas are shown from Holy Monday to Holy Wednesday, with each episode having different characters, story, and director.
It is topbilled by Maine Mendoza, Alden Richards, and Jake Ejercito.
Supporting cast includes Jose Manalo, Wally Bayola, Michael de Mesa, Ciara Sotto, Kiel Rodriguez, Tommy Peñaflor, Jon Timmons, and Justin Smaby.
The episode is directed by Bb. Joyce Bernal. Its title is based on the 1999 hit single of the same name by American country artist Bryan White, which became the theme song of Kalyeserye for the AlDub loveteam.
Plot
A girl is in love with a guy, the guy tragically passes away, his best friend steps in to console the girlfriend, until their feelings blossom to romance.
Dani (Maine Mendoza) is a flight attendant who is in a relationship with Matthew (Jake Ejercito), a flight captain. The couple is so busy, working on different flights, that they only see each other during short breaks when both of them are in Manila.
Matthew’s best friend is the carefree pilot James (Alden Richards). Because of the same busy work schedule, Dani and James have yet to meet. During a night of drinking, Matthew shares his plan to spend time with Dani and to propose to her tomorrow. Unfortunately, James gets too drunk that Matthew is forced to cover for his shift at the airport the next day. On his way home ready for his proposal, Matthew tragically dies in a fatal car accident.
Blaming himself for Matthew's death, James meets up with his best friend's girlfriend to try to console her.
Then, the girlfriend and best friend meet and console each other. But their closeness grows to attraction, especially since they start spending more time with each other in order to fulfill a list of tasks that Matthew had left undone with Dani.
Director Joyce Bernal escapes the trap of making this the usual run-of-the-mill linear story by employing flashbacks to link those left behind with the binding character, Matthew. She also milks the kilig factor with long montages of Maine and Alden in various stages of friendship to attraction.
In the end, Dani references the Kalyeserye’s main message with a voice-over reassuring that someone God meant for you will come “sa tamang panahon.
