Senator Alan Cayetano emphasized the importance of fostering a positive outlook and cherishing simple joys in the recent episode of “CIA with BA.”
“Iba muna ang paghuhugutan ko ng takeaway kasi nga medyo umiinit ulo ko ‘pag may tingin ko mali o injustice o sakitan among each other. Gusto ko kasi, itong 2025 medyo mas happy ang dating,” he shared in an episode of the show that aired Sunday, January 19.
Senator Alan went on to share anecdotes from his youth and married life, showing how the simplest moments can bring one great happiness.
“Years ago, ilang taon na rin kaming kasal ni Lani, umulan nang malakas (tapos) hinahanap niya ‘ko. Nakita niya ‘ko nasa garden, walang t-shirt, naka-shorts (lang), naliligo sa ulan,” he recounted with a smile, reflecting on the joyful memory.
He also fondly reminisced about childhood experiences: “Panahon kasi namin, ‘yung pinakasimple, ‘yon ang pinakamasaya, e. May puno ng aratiles, aakyat kami, magbabatuhan ng konti, kukuha, kakainin mo… magpa-patintero kayo. Mga simpleng bagay pero masaya.”
The senator reminded viewers that happiness doesn’t always mean you have to spend extravagantly.
“Hindi kailangang mahal, hindi kailangang bumili. ‘Yung time mo, ‘yung effort mo, the simple things — (those) will become true memories. Magpasaya tayo sa simpleng mga bagay,” he said.
“CIA with BA” continues the legacy of the late Senator Rene Cayetano and airs every Sunday at 11pm on GMA7, with replays on GTV the following Saturday at 10:30pm.
