The recent episode of “CIA with BA,” led by sibling senators Alan Peter and Pia Cayetano and award-winning TV host Boy Abunda showed that love for family is what matters most.
Last August 20, two different cases with different families involved were featured in the program. Roel de Dios complained about his brother Victorino about their rights to a lot of land belonging to their father. The issue became worse because of their exchange of hurtful words and a lack of proper communication.
“‘Di ba minsan, iniisip natin ‘yung pamilya, indestructible, lalo kung very very close kayo ‘no? Pero makikita mo talaga na kung ano ‘yung itatanim mo, ‘yun ang aanihin mo so kahit na napakaganda ng mga tinanim nung pamilyang nakita natin… ‘pag nagsimula ‘yung isang intrigahan, isang problema – lalo kapag naghalo na sa in-laws – pwede talagang lumaki,” said Senator Alan.
“Pero kung babalikan at babalikan mo ‘yung pagmamahalan niyo, ‘yung essence, magkakaroon talaga ng chance [of] reconciliation,” he added.
Another case they took was of a certain Cecilia, who sought the advice of the lawmaker-hosts about her lot that she used as collateral to be able to bring out her son from the hospital. The amount of the bill she had to pay was over P200,000.
“‘Yun lang naman din ang sasabihin ko – in both cases that we handled – it’s all about love for family. And tayo, what we can do to help families whether it’s from the.. ‘yung karapatan o balansehin lang ‘yung karapatan sa pagmamahal.. minsan kahit ikaw ang nasa tama, ikaw na lang ang magpakumbaba para magkaayos,” said Senator Pia. “That’s our goal. Hindi naman ‘yung kung sino ‘yung hahabla sa korte.. hindi ‘yon ang habol natin.”
“CIA with BA” continues the legacy of Senator Rene Cayetano, the late father of sibling senators Alan and Pia. It airs every Sunday, 11:30 p.m. on GMA7.
