'Kuan on One' returns: Melai Cantiveros targets Sen. Migz Zubiri and Pacquiao family for the hit show



Politics continues to be a major topic of conversation in the country, with numerous issues affecting the public. Even comedienne and talk show host Melai Cantiveros Francisco has felt the impact of ongoing controversies involving local officials.

At the media conference for her popular online show Kuan on One, Melai shared that she still trusts a particular senator, even amid the ongoing tensions and controversy in the Senate.

"With everything happening now, we have become more intelligent and aware of the inner workings of the Senate," Melai said in Filipino. 

She added, "If I were to interview anyone there, it would be the only Bisaya in the room, Senator Migz Zubiri. Itatanong ko sa kanya kung kaanu-ano niya si Diana Zubiri. Related ba sila?

"Itatanong ko sa kanya kung ano ang gagawin natin para mag-kaisa tayo. Sobra na tayong nakakahiya. Bakit?


"Yung ibang bansa may war. Pero kakampi nila ang sarili nilang bansa. Pero tayo, wala na ba tayong ibang kalaban? Tayo rin ang magkakalaban sa isa't isa.

"So tayong mga Pinoy na bumuboto dapat maging wise tayo. Sana bigyan naman tayo ng hiya. Hindi ko alam kung may hiya pa ba sila. So paano ba ang gagawin natin?

"Hindi ako pwedeng hindi magsalita dahil nagbabayad ako ng tax. Maraming kawawang Pinoy. Pumunta ako ng Korea. Masaya ang tour mo roon kasi wala kang makikitang mga tao roon na kawawa. Ang mga etablishment nila the best. Fifty-one bridges ang ginawa nila para nakatawid ang mga tao. May traffic pero makikita mo na may ginagawa ang kanilang gobyerno.

"Sen. Migz, sana magkaisa kayo riyan para na rin sa mga taong nagbabayad ng tax. Please lang, ibalik ninyo sana ang dignidad sa Senado. Maawa kayo sa amin," Melai said.

Regarding the online show's longevity, Melai said, "It's our faith na magkaroon kami ng trabaho. We trust in the Lord. I always give credit to Him. Hindi ko talaga aaminin na ako ang dahilan bakit may Season 5 ang show. It's all about God. Concrete talaga ang plan niya sa atin.


"Pero siguro marami rin ang homesick sa ibang bansa kaya napapanood nila tayo. Hindi naman seryoso ang show natin. It's all about reality ng buhay. May mga natututunan sila sa mga past natin. Kung wala yung past, hindi tayo matututo.

"Inspired talaga akong pumasok sa Kuan on One palagi. Aside sa sweldo ha. Napapasaya rin natin ang ating TFC subscribers dala ng ating show. Iba ang energy ng dalawang Bisaya na nag-uusap," she said.

Melai, 38, hopes Manny Pacquiao and his wife Jinkee Pacquiao will make a guest appearance on her show. "Nag-message na ako sa kanila pero sobrang busy lang nila. Sabi ko pupunta na lang ako ng GenSan para isang interview na lang.

"Pero gusto ko talagang ma-interview yung kambal na si Jinkee at Janet. Sobrang close nilang dalawa. Ang rapport nila at parang isa lang ang takbo ng utak nila. Di ba ang mga magkakapatid nag-aaway pero parang hindi mo sila nakikita na mag-kaaway. Yan ang mga gusto kong interview-hin. Pwede na ba akong umalis ngayon?" she added.


Melai highly praised Ellen Adarna, whom she interviewed for Season 5.

"This Season 5, I interviewed Ellen Adarna about her life-changing experiences. Sa buhay, meron talaga tayong mga dapat pagdaanan. Very Bisaya-rooted siya pero she is so humble. Si Ellen mayaman at sosyal pero makikita mo rito ang kanyang wisdom sa pag-interview ko. Ellen Adarna is life-changing," she said.

Catch Season 5 of Kuan on One, premieres on June 9, streaming for free on iWantTFC and the ABS-CBN Entertainment YouTube Channel.
