Production and development

From the creative engineering of RJ Nuevas, the series was conceived late 2012. Early in its development, the series was titled "Tatlong Ina, Isang Anak" (lit. Three Mothers, One Child). It was changed to Bukod Kang Pinagpala (lit. You're the Most Blessed One, a phrase usually referring to Mama Mary), following its concept "The greatest kind of love is the love a mother has for her child." Winnie Hollis-Reyes served as the executive producer, while Don Michael Perez assigned to direct the show.

The majority of the ensemble cast was personally chosen by the network and assembled from December 2012 to January 2013. Actresses Camille Prats, Jackie Rice and Jennica Garcia headlined the show as the three mothers fighting for the custody of a child – Lara, played by Mona Louise Rey. The said role was originally meant for Jillian Ward but later replaced by Rey because "She's more fit for the role." Mark Anthony Fernandez, who had previously worked with Prats and Rey on the 2011 hit primetime series Munting Heredera, was cast as the sole male lead.[7]

As the show progressed, numerous recurring casts appeared. Carl Guevarra, Krystal Reyes, singer-actress Frencheska Farr and Japanese actor/producer Jacky Woo signed on to portray four important characters in the show. Glenda Garcia, Sharmaine Suarez and Anna Marin took the parental roles and made several appearances throughout the series' run. Series' director Don Michael Perez stated that "despite the series' title, no "chosen" character is given more exposure than the other members of the cast, from writing to the directing."[8]

Filming of the series began on February 1, 2013. Most of the series' scenes, including the fictional "Alcuar Farm" and "Bessie's Organic Farm & Restaurant", were shot on location in Tagaytay.[9]
