Netizens have found a new source of wisdom and practical tips for success this 2025 through Senator Alan Peter Cayetano’s online series, ‘CIA 365 with Kuya Alan.’
The year-long series is a spin-off of the legal advice program Cayetano in Action with Boy Abunda (CIA with BA), which Cayetano co-hosts with his sister Senator Pia Cayetano and the country’s ‘King of Talk’ Boy Abunda.
Premiering on New Year’s Eve, the new series has become a daily fixture on Cayetano’s Facebook page, where he shares with viewers life lessons and reflections grounded in Biblical values.
The senator uses real-life stories and acronyms to break down complex ideas into practical, relatable messages.
Cayetano launched the series with a focus on the theme “New Year’s Resolution,” encouraging viewers to start the year with clarity, purpose, and direction.
In the series’ first week, he encouraged Filipinos to align their resolutions with a clear sense of purpose, emphasizing the importance of developing good habits and seeking guidance.
“Resolutions are difficult because they require us to change habits. But if we align them with our purpose and trust in God, we can succeed,” he said in one of the livestream sessions.
“Hindi pwedeng political will lang or will power or motivation – there has to be discipline. And it’s easier to have discipline ‘pag may sense of purpose ka at may habit ka nang nabuo,” he said in another session.
For its second week, ‘CIA 365 with Kuya Alan’ has shifted to the theme of “Journey,” exploring how individuals can successfully navigate life with a stronger connection to God, family, and community.
“It’s very important that if you’re not sure of the direction, you stop, you pause, and you get hold of a compass,” he said, pointing to the Bible as his own “compass” for navigating life’s uncertainties, along with advice from trusted family and friends.
The reflections have struck a chord with viewers, sparking heartfelt responses in the comments.
One commenter shared, “I always remind myself that my identity is in Christ my savior and redeemer who loves me and gave himself for me.”
Another remarked, “Sana po lahat ng senator or leaders mayr’ong tamang relasyon sa Diyos.”
Cayetano has said he is committed to continuing ‘CIA 365 with Kuya Alan’ every day throughout the year, hoping to inspire Filipinos through reflections that encourage meaningful conversations and personal growth.
The series streams live on the senator’s official Facebook page every evening, where it continues to gain an active following.
