TWO GENTLEMEN FIGHT OVER APPLE ' CIA WITH BA ' FIXES

Two gentlemen fight over apple, ‘CIA with BA’ fixes

“A wrong doesn’t correct something also that’s wrong. So tayo po man ay makatikim ng

injustice, ‘wag mong suklian ng mas masamang injustice kasi pare-pareho lang kayong

mapeperwisyo.”

These were Senator Alan Peter Cayetano’s final words as he reflected on the

complaints he took, together with sister Senator Pia and co-host Boy Abunda, in the

recent episode of ‘CIA with BA.’

In the ‘Case 2 Face’ segment, apple vendor Jovi accused tricycle driver Jhon-Jhon of

stealing one of his apples at a terminal in Quezon City. However, to his embarrassment,

Jhon-Jhon punched and choked him until they both got into a fistfight.

“Hindi ko kinakampihan si Jhon-Jhon pero there’s more than one way to call a person

na ‘magnanakaw.’ Maaaring hindi mo ginamit ‘yung salitang ‘magnanakaw,’ pero [para

sa] nakarinig no’n, ang dating sa kanya, tinawag mo na siyang magnanakaw,” Alan told

Jovi.

The lawmaker, meanwhile, reminded Jhon-Jhon: “Hindi mo kontrolado ang aksyon ng

iba, pero kontrolado mo [ang] reaksyon mo.”

“Maaaring totoong napahiya ka dahil sa kanya, pero makukulong ka hindi dahil sa

kanya, [pero] dahil sa ‘yo,” he added.

While the two had initially talked about their issue in a barangay hall near where the

incident happened, Jovi felt that Jhon-Jhon was insincere. Also, he felt threatened that

the latter might hurt him again.

But the public service program, once and for all, clarified with the two that they are both

safe from each other.

At the end of the segment, Jhon-Jhon apologized to Jovi.

“Pasensya ka na. Hayaan mo hindi na mauulit ‘yon,” he said.

‘CIA with BA’ also pledged to cover their financial losses during the week when Jovi and

Jhon-Jhon had to go back-and-forth to the barangay hall to face the complaint.

The program continues the legacy of Senator Rene Cayetano, the late father of sibling

senators Alan and Pia. The senior Cayetano was a renowned lawyer who gained fame
