Hihintayin Kita sa Langit

The uncut original 35mm picture negative taken from the storage of the producer, ReynaFilms, was used as the source for restoration. The picture was scanned in 4K and converted to 2K for digital restoration. It took the restoration artists a total of 660 actual manual hours to address the unsteady shots, warps, missing frames, and bumps due to the splice marks of the film. The colorist spent 100 actual manual hours to bring back its color tonalities and saturation with the supervision of the director (Carlos Siguion-Reyna) and cinematographer (Romeo Vitug). The source used for the audio restoration was the original sound negative. Carlos Siguion-Reyna also supervised the curing of the audio, the most crucial part of which was the audio syncing and annoying background noise.[4]

The film was digitally restored and remastered by the ABS-CBN Film Archives in partnership with Central Digital Lab as part of their Sagip Pelikula campaign. It was premiered on February 27, 2017 at the Glorietta 4 Cinema in the Ayala Center, Makati City, Metro Manila.[5] The premiere was attended by the film's director Carlos Siguion-Reyna, writer Raquel Villavicencio, stars Richard Gomez, Dawn Zulueta, Eric Quizon, Guila Alvarez, Vangie Labalan plus cinematographer Romy Vitug, editor Jess Navarro, and Richard Reynoso who sang the theme song.[4]
