00:00Let's say hello to Ivana Alawi from the outside world.
00:09Hi guys! This is Ivana.
00:13Welcome back to my channel.
00:14So now we have a new video.
00:16The country to her.
00:18Phenomenal content queen.
00:20We will be the pedicab driver for today.
00:25You pushed me!
00:27Her vlogs are always trending.
00:3020,000.
00:31Dad, you made me cry.
00:33Her followers are getting more and more.
00:38Naryang, she just washed her face and it went viral.
00:42When we wash our face, it's only on the left side because my left side is smelly.
00:48The actress.
00:49I like you.
00:52And social media personality.
00:55That's bad.
00:56Her name is Ivana Alawi.
01:02Recently, she became a house guest in the newest reality show,
01:08Pinoy Big Brother Celebrity Collab Edition.
01:12You can watch it here on Kapuso Network.
01:15And in her return to the outside world.
01:18Do you want to come back?
01:20She will answer our hot questions.
01:24Do you have a boyfriend?
01:25Jessica.
01:26Of course, I'm a maritess.
01:28Outside the house.
01:30You are full of pimples.
01:34Oh no, here we go again.
01:3610,000.
01:38That's yours.
01:39Your content of helping.
01:42Some are commenting that why does she still need to vlog?
01:49Ice.
01:50And we will also cool down the hot weather.
01:54In making Halo-Halo,
01:58this is our collab of Ivana Alawi.
02:02It's delicious.
02:03Fair.
02:04EKMJ is the best.
02:09Ivana, thank you very much for this interview.
02:12Thank you too.
02:13I said earlier that I'm a fan of Ms. Jessica.
02:15You are what they call a phenomenal content creator.
02:19It's nice to listen to.
02:20Thank you very much.
02:21But I don't put it in my mind that I'm a social media phenomenal queen.
02:26But I didn't see myself as a vlogger.
02:29So my sister said,
02:30Sister, you're funny.
02:32She said, you should vlog.
02:33So she did the video, she edited, she uploaded.
02:36We're done with my bedroom.
02:38Now we will go to the laundry.
02:40I know you just did the laundry.
02:42That's already millions.
02:43The views.
02:44How much is that?
02:47I don't know anymore.
02:49We're fixing the collars because it will get dirty.
02:52But why?
02:53It's so ordinary to see people doing the laundry on our streets.
02:57What do you have that you just did the laundry?
02:59I don't know.
03:00And I didn't do my makeup, I just fixed it.
03:01I just brushed my hair and I just did the laundry.
03:05This is the reason why I don't wear clothes.
03:07It's hard to do the laundry, guys.
03:09I always wear loose sandals because I want to breathe.
03:13You know, everything.
03:15Yes.
03:16Ma'am, can I ask for a barrier?
03:18The one where you're disguised as a policewoman.
03:21I want to go out on the street, I will ask for help.
03:24Because I was really intrigued.
03:26Who will help you when you're not around?
03:33Dad, you made me cry.
03:3520,000.
03:40In Bahrain, Ivana, or Mariam Sayed Samir Marbella Al-Alawi, was born.
03:47In real life.
03:48That's where she met her Filipino mother, Fatima, and her Moroccan businessman father, Samir.
03:56My mom met them there.
03:58So my mom was a bartender and also a waitress.
04:02And then they fought.
04:03So that's where my mom lived and they had three children.
04:08Which is my sister, my brother, and me.
04:11Our life was really good there.
04:14And the house was big.
04:16The room was big.
04:17Unfortunately, they didn't work.
04:19They didn't work.
04:20They separated.
04:21Yes.
04:22My mom didn't like the toxic environment for us.
04:24She didn't want us to see them fighting.
04:27So she left.
04:28She went to Mona.
04:29Fatima went home to the Philippines.
04:32While Ivana and her two siblings were left in their father's power.
04:37He brought a girlfriend.
04:39A young one.
04:41I couldn't accept it.
04:42What is this? Are you going to replace my mom?
04:44I said, no, no, no.
04:45No one's going to replace my mom.
04:46So I told my dad, I will follow my mother.
04:48In the Philippines?
04:49Yes.
04:50That's why you came home?
04:51Yes.
04:52Six or five years old.
04:53I flew alone.
04:54Wow.
04:55My dad said, I can't take you because he has a lot of work.
04:57None of my siblings wanted to go to the Philippines.
04:59He put money in my pocket.
05:01Don't touch that.
05:03When you get to the Philippines, your mom will get it.
05:05Wow.
05:06I said, delivery girl.
05:07I got on the airplane.
05:09When I got there, I saw my mom.
05:11We took a taxi to go home.
05:14I was really surprised.
05:16When I saw the house, we didn't have a refrigerator.
05:18We couldn't fit in the bedroom.
05:20Because there were three of us.
05:21Me, Mona, and my mom.
05:23We had to bend our legs because the room was so small.
05:27So you were shocked?
05:28Yes.
05:29I also saw a cockroach.
05:30A big one.
05:31Because we were next to a canal.
05:32The cockroaches were flying around.
05:35I said, I don't want to live here anymore, mom.
05:37Because you got used to the engranding life in Bahrain.
05:41You came home to the Philippines and that's how your mom's life was.
05:44Yes.
05:45I told my mom, mom, you left us for this?
05:48Why?
05:49She said, I'm happier here.
05:51It's not about money.
05:52She said, if it's only about money, I would have endured it.
05:55I would have endured all the pain.
05:58But it's not about the money.
05:59Sometimes, happiness can't be bought with money.
06:04My mom told me to play on the street.
06:07I didn't know how to play on the street.
06:09Because in Bahrain, it's just a school.
06:11School, house.
06:12So when I go out, there are kids running around.
06:15I was like that.
06:16Mom, I don't know how to speak English.
06:19My mom said, what are you saying?
06:21You're an artist.
06:23I don't understand, you guys.
06:25I'm an artist.
06:26You're an English teacher.
06:27Yes, I'm an English teacher.
06:28I don't know how to speak Tagalog.
06:29One kid, he was running around.
06:31He was acting like an artist.
06:32I poked his ear.
06:33So he got hurt.
06:35I said, what?
06:36It's bleeding.
06:37So my mom told me, let's go to the hospital.
06:39As time went by, slowly, I made a lot of friends.
06:42Then I told my siblings,
06:44Hey, it's beautiful here.
06:46Paradise.
06:49Your life is beautiful, Ivana.
06:51Yes.
06:52You can make a TV series.
06:53Oh my.
06:54Or a movie.
06:55But you were able to adapt.
06:56Yes.
06:57And I enjoyed it more.
06:58I also don't want to go back to Bahrain.
06:59But I said, I will accompany my brother and my sister
07:02so that they can experience the beauty here.
07:04They were very angry with me when I arrived.
07:06Paradise?
07:07What happened?
07:08I said, guys, experience it.
07:10Try it for a few years.
07:11Until all of us didn't go home.
07:13We really enjoyed here.
07:15Since the mother decided to live here in the Philippines,
07:19their father Samir was left alone in Bahrain.
07:23You didn't hurt your father?
07:25Nothing.
07:26That's what my mother taught me.
07:28Even if they are not okay,
07:30don't plant bad feelings in your parents.
07:33You should be thankful because you are here in the world because of him.
07:37He passed away in 2018, right?
07:40Yes.
07:41Did you witness the last few moments of your father?
07:45Yes.
07:46He called me that morning.
07:47He said, I'm here in Subic, can you come?
07:49Then I said, okay.
07:51I told my family, let's go to the city.
07:54Because we didn't know that what happened was very critical.
07:58And then around 5 p.m., I said, guys, I have a different feeling.
08:02Can we go now?
08:03So I was on my way.
08:05My father is very strict.
08:06He's very conservative.
08:07I was already having sex.
08:09That's why I was afraid because I didn't want him to be disappointed with me.
08:13Then he sat down and said, I'm proud of you, Mariam.
08:17Then I saw my scenes on his phone, even though he didn't understand.
08:22Then I showed it to his friends.
08:24That's my daughter.
08:27We took a picture, then we started laughing because I feel like he's not okay.
08:30I said, let's transfer him to another hospital.
08:32So we prepared an ambulance to take him to the hospital in Manila.
08:36That's it.
08:39He passed away.
08:40Yes.
08:41And they tried to revive him.
08:43That's it.
08:44Heart attack.
08:45Heart attack?
08:46Yes.
08:47So he had a heart attack that morning.
08:49But the doctors said that he really waited.
08:53He fought because he didn't have vitals anymore.
08:57He didn't have BP anymore.
08:59But he was just waiting.
09:03That's why I was surprised.
09:04Why me?
09:07But the good thing about that, Ivana, he said that he's proud of you.
09:12That's it. I'm okay.
09:13Really?
09:15I love you, Dad.
09:16Thanks for raising me and for making me.
09:18Dad knows that.
09:23So my question earlier, is it true that you were raised in a very poor environment?
09:27You know, Ma'am Jessica, I'm not my father's favorite.
09:29Even when I grow up, his favorite is my sister.
09:32That's why I was surprised why he named me.
09:35Which one?
09:36The properties and what he left.
09:39Wow.
09:40What properties are those?
09:41Oh, Ma'am.
09:42That's not for me.
09:43That's for my family.
09:44Okay.
09:47So this is the outside of the house.
09:49So this is what it looks like.
09:51But let's say, you were very well provided for, right?
09:54And he didn't have any other family or children.
09:58So everything really went to our family.
10:01Which is, I thought he forgot us.
10:04Because I didn't expect it.
10:05For me, when I work, I will save myself.
10:08That's already in my mindset.
10:10Even if you don't have to work anymore.
10:15You still have to.
10:16Work is life.
10:17That's right.
10:18And your income is different from your work.
10:23But it wasn't easy for Ivana to go through.
10:26Before she arrived, her current situation.
10:29Tell us about your journey.
10:32I started, Ma'am Jessica, as an extra.
10:36I auditioned a lot.
10:37My sister and I auditioned together.
10:41She always gets it.
10:42I don't.
10:43Oh, really?
10:44Yes, we tried.
10:45Because ever since we were kids, we used to cry in front of the mirror.
10:48That's when we saw that my sister cried so well.
10:52I miss you so much.
10:54Please take me here.
10:59And she always gets it.
11:00Yes.
11:01And you, extra.
11:02Extra support.
11:03My mom would force the director.
11:05Hey, you should go in.
11:06My son was behind the camera.
11:09He was in the back.
11:10Ma'am, he was in the back.
11:11You didn't face him.
11:12We can still start over.
11:14Be friends.
11:16I'd like that.
11:17Let's be friends.
11:18The former extra on TV.
11:24Recently, she became a house guest on PBB, Celebrity Collab Edition.
11:30That was my dream, to be on PBB.
11:33They said you auditioned there.
11:36You were there for a long time.
11:37I was there for 22 hours.
11:39I was with my mom.
11:41And you didn't get it.
11:42She's used to it.
11:43She didn't react anymore.
11:44Tell us, Ivana, what happened to you at your brother's house.
11:48Ma'am Jessica, I can't take a bath.
11:50Because I already knew that.
11:51They said that I can only take a bath for 5 minutes in the PBB house.
11:555 minutes?
11:56I was just going to take a bath.
11:58I took a bath in the garden.
12:00I was being massaged.
12:01But I shampooed my body.
12:05So when I went inside, there were a lot of buzzers.
12:08I said, I won't do this again.
12:10I can't be eliminated because I have a lot of violations.
12:12I'm really annoying.
12:14And I'm not allowed to curse.
12:15I curse a lot, Ma'am Jessica.
12:17Really?
12:18That's why now...
12:19You curse a lot?
12:20Yes, every sentence.
12:21Sometimes, there's a beep.
12:22Like that.
12:23But now, when I go out, it's not removed, but it's reduced.
12:27But I read that you want to go back to the PBB house.
12:31Yes, I really enjoyed it.
12:32I was there for 6 days.
12:33I will be attached to the housemates.
12:36That's why when I left, I really cried.
12:38How can that experience be enjoyable?
12:41There are a lot of cameras.
12:42When you move, the whole world is watching you.
12:45At first, I was already conscious.
12:47But I don't care anymore.
12:49It's like I enjoyed it.
12:50It's up to you.
12:51For the CCTVs there, I'll just be honest.
12:54What you show there, is that the reality?
12:57The real characters?
12:59Yes, I thought it was a script.
13:00It's really you?
13:01Yes.
13:02You don't have put-ons?
13:04What you see is what you get.
13:05If you don't like me, I'm okay.
13:07If you like me, thank you.
13:08That's why I wasn't afraid.
13:10When I entered the PBB, others were saying,
13:12you might get hurt.
13:13I won't get hurt.
13:14It's not my fault.
13:15Of course, the family and the housemates collaborated in the house of Kuya.
13:21What is your impression of the housemates?
13:24At first, I said, maybe there will be a competition,
13:28a competition,
13:29but nothing.
13:30Everything is equal.
13:31I enjoyed them.
13:32The housemates are really nice.
13:34What can you say about the lack of network war?
13:37Actually, it's really fun.
13:39Everyone is a family.
13:40Everyone loves each other.
13:41And of course, more people have jobs.
13:44That's what's important.
13:46Can you measure, if it fits?
13:48Your content of helping.
13:50There are people commenting,
13:52why does she still need to vlog?
13:55That's my platform.
13:56I want to inspire other people.
13:58Why not?
13:59We have another trivia about Ivana.
14:02I'm Mariam Alalawi.
14:04Did you know that in 2015,
14:06she was included in the top 22 of the artist search here in GMA?
14:12The Starstruck.
14:14In Starstruck, you were also selected, right?
14:16Yes.
14:17What happened to you there?
14:18It's okay.
14:19My mom wanted it, so I did it too.
14:22But you didn't make it to the final rounds, right?
14:25Yes, but I'm happy.
14:28There's nothing.
14:29I'm drunk again.
14:30Did you watch this?
14:32There's nothing.
14:33I'm drunk again.
14:34You're good.
14:36What are you doing to me?
14:37You're good at acting.
14:38No, I'm not.
14:40That's beautiful.
14:41The guy brought it, not me.
14:43No, but your reaction is authentic.
14:45There you are.
14:46Hi.
14:47It's okay.
14:48I don't want to.
14:49I'm getting cringy.
14:50You were very young then, right?
14:52How old were you?
14:5417?
14:5516?
14:56What will you tell your 16 or 17-year-old self
15:00when you grow up?
15:02Enjoy your life.
15:03Don't rush.
15:05And I won't tell you to fix this
15:08because that's where you'll learn and become strong.
15:13So, live your life.
15:14Enjoy your life.
15:15But if Ivana doesn't continue her showbiz,
15:18she'll go back and back to her simple life.
15:23Your only dream in life was to become a nanny?
15:26When my mom left me,
15:27the one who raised me and became my nanny was my helper.
15:32So, my dream is to become a helper as well.
15:34That's why I like cleaning and tidying up.
15:37Yaya Van, at your service.
15:41Ma'am, she's so beautiful.
15:44It's hard to believe.
15:45The stereotypes, right?
15:47Ivana cleans and does the laundry.
15:49Yes.
15:50Look where you are now.
15:51When you think about it, what do you tell yourself?
15:54I'm proud.
15:55I hope my mom is proud of me.
15:57Your mom is so proud.
16:00Tell her.
16:02This is your chance.
16:04I won't cry.
16:09To my mom,
16:11thank you so much for raising me well.
16:14I don't always say this to you but I love you so much.
16:18And thank you because you really took care of us.
16:21Even though you're a single mother,
16:22you raised us well with respect and fear of God.
16:26And to love your family.
16:28I'm here because of you.
16:31But she's so good.
16:33How did she take care of you?
16:34She does manicure on the sidelines.
16:36She trims the hair.
16:37Mothers are so generous, right?
16:44But despite the success,
16:46there are still trials.
16:48Just last year,
16:50Ivana faced a big obstacle in her life.
16:54I will show you one of the hardest journey of my life.
16:59You said you got sick?
17:00Yes.
17:01But ever since I was a teenager,
17:03I was diagnosed with cysts.
17:05I didn't want to have surgery.
17:06I didn't want to have cysts.
17:07So I endured it from 13 years old.
17:09Cysts in your reproductive system?
17:11Yes.
17:12I couldn't walk.
17:13I couldn't walk.
17:14I was panting.
17:16Then I saw my tummy.
17:17It was so big.
17:18It was full of water.
17:20When I touched it, it was so hard.
17:22How did you treat it?
17:23For three days,
17:24the doctor tried to get it out naturally.
17:26It didn't happen.
17:27Then I threw up.
17:28I couldn't take it anymore.
17:29They gave me three liters of water.
17:33You just drained it?
17:34Yes, I drained it.
17:35I even said goodbye to my mom.
17:37You thought you were going to die, right?
17:39Yes, because I was drowning.
17:40I couldn't breathe.
17:42It was full of water.
17:43Yes, it was full of water.
17:45Then my mom started crying.
17:47But she kept it a secret.
17:48She told my friend,
17:49If you say that,
17:50it's like you're saying something.
17:52Because at that time,
17:53I couldn't even speak.
17:55I was just like that.
17:56I was just sighing.
17:57So now, you're okay?
17:58I'm okay.
17:59I have regular checkups,
18:00but it's not cancerous.
18:02How's her heart?
18:03How is it?
18:04Do you have a boyfriend?
18:06I am dating.
18:07Oh!
18:09Who?
18:10Oh my!
18:11Nan Showbiz!
18:13Ma'am Jessica!
18:15Of course, I'm a Marites there.
18:18I don't like Showbiz.
18:19Why?
18:20Because I'm jealous.
18:21So when I see a love scene,
18:23I get jealous.
18:24Because I want to be the only one.
18:27But I can do it.
18:29That's why I'm dating Showbiz.
18:31That's a double standard.
18:32No, she made me.
18:33I'm already a Showbiz.
18:34Oh, yes.
18:35So it's not like I'm going to adjust.
18:36Yes, indeed.
18:37Unless you marry me.
18:38You marry me.
18:39You marry me.
18:40They say,
18:41you're the sexy,
18:43and beautiful,
18:45but
18:46real.
18:47Truly real.
18:49What is that?
18:50Did you put in the effort?
18:51Or is it just that?
18:52Actually, being sexy,
18:54I haven't seen it before.
18:56I'm ashamed of my body.
18:58I'm jealous of my butt.
18:59My butt is big.
19:01This is big.
19:02Everything.
19:03I said,
19:04it's up to you.
19:05I'll do a swimsuit at home.
19:06I'll take a picture.
19:07I'll love my body.
19:08I love myself.
19:09I love my body.
19:10I like her.
19:11I'm boyish,
19:12when I was a teenager.
19:13Because I was always with men.
19:15My cousins.
19:16Wow.
19:17Hard to believe,
19:18with a face like that,
19:19and a body like yours.
19:22How do you feel
19:24when men say,
19:26Ivana is so sexy.
19:29How do you react to
19:30those comments?
19:32I appreciate it,
19:33of course.
19:35But until then,
19:36there are limits.
19:37Unfortunately,
19:38there are viewers
19:39and followers
19:40that are a bit
19:41sloppy.
19:42I think all of us,
19:43we can give comments
19:44on what they think.
19:45As long as I know
19:46that I have limits.
19:47And because it's summer,
19:49for our collab with Ivana,
19:52we will make
19:53and give
19:54a mix.
19:56Is this your first time?
19:57Yes.
19:58Do you know how to make this?
19:59No, this is my first time.
20:00Really?
20:01What is the layering of this?
20:02Yes, anything.
20:03Anything?
20:04Because we're so lucky,
20:05it's a mix.
20:07Isn't it yellow first?
20:08No, the ingredients first.
20:11Here, I think that's enough.
20:14Let's add more.
20:17Is this edible?
20:19Yes.
20:20You can do it.
20:21Go, Ivana.
20:25I can't.
20:27There, let's add milk.
20:28There.
20:30There.
20:31Mix it well.
20:33I'll try.
20:34I'll try to mix it.
20:35Go ahead, try it.
20:39It's delicious.
20:40Fair.
20:41What word is that?
20:42In fair.
20:43Right?
20:44So fair.
20:45Kids these days are like that.
20:46Sofer.
20:47What does that mean?
20:48Sofer means delicious.
20:49Sofer.
20:50Oh, is that sofer?
20:52I thought it was so fairness.
20:54Oh, there it is.
20:55Sofer means delicious.
20:57Is our mix delicious?
20:59Yes.
21:01What can you say
21:02about our mix with Ivana?
21:03It was successful.
21:05It was successful.
21:07There's nothing missing.
21:09Sofer, sofer.
21:10What can you say about our content today, Ivana?
21:13Sofer sa ganda.
21:15Sofer.
21:16Soberang Latina.
21:20Thank you, Jessica.
21:22Are you, Ivana,
21:24are you planning to join politics?
21:26No.
21:27Because the influencers,
21:29their influence,
21:31they use it
21:32if not for joining politics,
21:34they use it to endorse
21:36politicians,
21:38especially now that it's election season.
21:39What do you think about that?
21:41First of all, to the artists running for office,
21:43make sure that they can do something good
21:45for our country.
21:47Because that's the Philippines.
21:49It's up to you
21:50what the future holds
21:51for our countrymen.
21:53What about those who ask for your endorsement?
21:56If they offer me money,
21:57I don't trust them.
21:59Or I don't see you
22:00I don't see you
22:01that I will share you
22:02to those who watch me,
22:03to those who trust me
22:05for money.
22:06I don't want to earn that.
22:07But if you're going to endorse
22:10a person
22:11that you trust, Captain,
22:13go!
22:14Use your influence
22:15for a good influence.
22:16Oh my,
22:17you don't even watch this, 20.
22:19Is your vlog, Ivana,
22:21relevant to what's happening
22:23in our society?
22:24Mostly.
22:25I try.
22:26All of that
22:27has no script
22:28and what's really happening.
22:30And I think
22:31it's very relevant, yes.
22:33So you also want to use
22:35your platform
22:37to focus
22:38on our problems?
22:40Is that so?
22:41More on to show.
22:42I think it's very important
22:44that you use your platform
22:45for a good cause.
22:47Nowadays,
22:48when it seems like
22:49everyone is projecting
22:51a perfect life
22:53on social media,
22:54there are people like
22:55Ivana Alawi
22:56who are choosing
22:57to be honest.
22:59It's hard to fight.
23:01That's why she's not tired
23:02of the hearts
23:04of those who truly love
23:06and support her.
23:09Thanks.
