'Cayetano in Action with Boy Abunda' earns double nomination at 38th PMPC Star Awards

The GMA public service program 'Cayetano in Action with Boy Abunda' (CIA with BA) is once again recognized as one of the top public affairs shows in the country, earning nominations for Best Public Affairs Program and Best Public Affairs Program Hosts at the 38th PMPC Star Awards for Television.

First aired in February 2023, CIA with BA brings together Senators Alan Peter and Pia Cayetano with the King of Talk Boy Abunda. The show follows in the footsteps of Compañero y Compañera, the legal advice program of the sibling senators' late father, Senator Rene Cayetano.

The award body acknowledges the hosts' impact on the public through their engaging and meaningful roles in the show.

Senator Alan expressed his gratitude for the recognition, emphasizing the program's mission to provide real solutions to everyday legal problems.

"We make things exciting for the audience and the viewers at home, but at the end of the day, people come to the show para matulungan sila sa kanilang mga problema," he said.

"With all our hearts, CIA with BA will assist, will learn... and we can also teach each other to share with our fellow countrymen," he added.

Senator Pia also shared her thoughts on the nomination and her experience working with Boy Abunda.

"We are grateful to Tito Boy for joining me and Senator Alan in this new endeavor. It is an honor to work with someone like him na talagang batikan na sa media," she said.

Abunda, known for his empathy and sharp insights, spoke about how the show has impacted him personally.

"This experience humbles us in various ways as we witness and engage with these stories. It makes us appreciate, question, and ultimately grow. Every time we step into the show, we have materials to review, yet our transformation isn't always conscious. With each episode, we evolve into our genuine selves," he said.

Organized by the Philippine Movie Press Club (PMPC), the PMPC Star Awards for Television honors outstanding television programs and personalities in the country. The awards ceremony is set for March 23, 2025, with the venue to be announced.

CIA with BA airs every Sunday at 11:00 PM on GMA-7, with replays on Saturdays at 10:30 PM on GTV.
