GMA Network’s Cayetano in Action with Boy Abunda has 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 awards will be presented at a star-studded ceremony on March 23, 2025 at the Dolphy Theater, where the brightest names in Philippine television will gather to honor excellence in the industry.
This recognition celebrates the show’s commitment to tackling important issues faced by our kababayan everyday, guided by the dynamic partnership of Senators Alan Peter and Pia Cayetano, alongside the King of Talk Boy Abunda.
Cayetano in Action with Boy Abunda, which airs every Sunday at 11:00 p.m. on GMA 7 and replays on Saturdays at 10:30 p.m. on GTV, continues the legacy of Senator Alan and Pia’s father, the late Senator Rene Cayetano. Senator Rene’s 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,” Kuya Alan said 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.
Cayetano said CIA with BA seeks a fresh approach by using “creative ways of looking at legal issues [where we] give advice without confining it in legal [concepts] or being bookish.”
Now on its second year, Cayetano in Action with Boy Abunda 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.
Kuya Alan invites viewers to watch not only for entertainment but also to learn valuable lessons about law, family, and compassion.
“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 said.
