Cayetano invites viewers to show with sis

CEBU, Philippines — Senator Alan Peter Cayetano is inviting viewers to continue watching their show with sister Senator Pia Cayetano titled “Cayetano in Action with Boy Abunda” not only for entertainment but also to learn valuable lessons about law, family, and compassion.

This developed as the show recently bagged two prestigious awards --Best Public Affairs Program and Best Public Affairs Program Host-- at the 38th Philippine Movie Press Club (PMPC) Star Awards for Television. The awarding will be held today, March 23, 2025 at the Dolphy Theater.

According to the Senator Alan, this recognition celebrates the show’s commitment to tackling important issues faced by our kababayans every day, guided by their dynamic partnership, alongside the King of Talk, Boy Abunda.

The GMA-7 show, which airs every Sunday at 11:00 PM on GMA and replays on Saturdays at 10:30 PM on GTV, continues the legacy of senator’s father, the late senator Rene Cayetano, who also had radio and TV program “Compañero y Compañera” aired from 1997 to 2001.

“My dad’s purpose, aside from serving the Lord, was to practice the law. Na-realize niya na kaya niya pinag-aralan ang batas ay dahil sa mabubuting magagawa niya dito sa Senado at sa batas. And I can relate to him,” said the senator on the importance of continuing his father’s legacy.

“Kasi katulad nga ng sinabi sa Bible, the law was made for man, not man made for the law,” he added.

He added that his sister and Abunda seeks a fresh approach by using creative ways of looking at legal issues where they give advice without confining it in legal concepts or being bookish.

Now on its second year, the show premiered on February 5, 2023, and offers in-depth interviews and public service with actionable solutions.

In various segments, the sibling senators, both veteran lawmakers and lawyers who are fondly called “Kuya Alan” and “Ate Pia” listen to the concerns of ordinary Filipinos. Their unique format has made it stand out in the TV show category.

“Sa ating mga kababayan, lalo na y’ung mga may malalaking problema sa kanilang buhay, whether financial or relational, huwag kayong magdalawang-isip na lumapit sa amin ni Ate Pia,” he further said. — (FREEMAN)
