Award-winning TV host Boy Abunda expressed how he has become more and more grateful for lawmakers like his CIA with BA co-hosts Senators Alan Peter and Pia Cayetano.

In the episode of the public service program on Sunday, June 11, Abunda said: “I have become more appreciative of legislators. Kasi, 'di ba, tayong mga mamamayan, ang atin lamang ay kung ano ang epekto ng batas sa atin,” he explained.

He continued, "Meron palang wisdom. Kaya pala ganon dahil pinoprotektahan 'yung mga relasyon, pinoprotektahan ng framers ng constitution, ng [mga] gumagawa ng batas, ang [mga] pamilya."

Supporting the co-host's thoughts, Alan said, “Ako, Kuya Boy, 'yung sinabi rin talaga sa Bible: 'Ang batas ay ginawa para sa tao, hindi 'yung tao para sa batas.' So, we do have to know the law, we have to follow the law but it's also important 'yung why, bakit may batas na 'yan at para sa tao 'yan.”

In the said episode, the sibling senators, together with Abunda, took on the case of a woman complaining about her husband whose jealousy has been affecting her job. Another case involved a woman who fights for her right to the pension of her deceased husband.

CIA with BA continues the legacy of Senator Rene Cayetano, the late father of Alan and Pia. The senior Cayetano was a lawyer who hosted Compañero y Compañera, which aired from 1997 to 2001.

CIA with BA airs every Sunday at 11:30 p.m. on GMA.
