“Malalim ang paniniwala ko na ‘pag tayo ay madaling magbitaw ng masasakit na salita, kabaliktaran ang effect no’n. Napakatagal magkaayusan. So let’s be careful.”

This was Senator Pia Cayetano’s reminder to viewers as she, along with co-hosts Senator Alan Peter Cayetano and Boy Abunda, addressed a family conflict on the episode of ‘CIA with BA’ that aired on Sunday, Sept. 8.

In the ‘Case 2 Face’ segment, Zeavs, accompanied by her sister Mygirl, sought help to file a complaint against their mother, Grace. Zeavs claimed that her mother had hurt her on the day her sister had a court hearing against the children of Rolando, their mother’s partner.

Grace allegedly threatened that if her sister sent Rolando’s children to jail, she would prevent Zeavs from continuing her education.

Zeavs was particularly distressed because she had been accepted to study industrial engineering at a state university. Grace supposedly said that rather than using the money for her education, it would be redirected to bail if Rolando’s children ended up in jail.

In their defense, Grace and Rolando argued that Zeavs was preoccupied with luxuries. Despite Rolando being just a construction worker, they managed to buy her a laptop.

The tension escalated as Zeavs and Mygirl were further angered by their mother’s hurtful comments.

“Wala na daw po akong karapatan mag-araw dahil may sakit daw ako, mamamatay din naman daw ako,” Zeavs shared.

During the discussion, Kuya Alan and Ate Pia emphasized that unity within the family could lead to greater achievements. They noted that Rolando, though not the biological father of Zeavs and Mygirl, had taken on the responsibility, Grace was a loving mother, and both Zeavs and Mygirl had significant aspirations.

Initially, Zeavs and Mygirl sought their mother’s imprisonment, but eventually, they sought forgiveness. Their mother also apologized, and the family reconciled with a heartfelt embrace.

The show committed to providing financial assistance for Zeavs to pursue her studies and for Mygirl, who aspires to train as a beautician.

‘CIA with BA’ continues the legacy of the late Senator Rene Cayetano and airs every Sunday at 11:00 p.m. on GMA7, with replays on GTV the following Saturday at 10:30 p.m.
