Could someone help me with the following saying I found in the newspaper
_Pilipino Star_ (Huwebes, Abril 19, 2001).

Ang paghihiganti ay ginagawa kang kasing baba ng nagkasala sa iyo.
/focus case/revenge/anteposer/making-focused on patient/you-sg.-focus
case+linker/as/low/of/did harm/prep./you/
 Revenge makes you as low as the one who did harm to you.

This sentence contains two items in the focus case:
ang pahihiganti "the revenge"
ka "you" (in _kang_)

Does this mean that it has two focuses/foci?
