Despite facing constant criticism online, actress and vlogger Ivana Alawi continues to choose compassion over confrontation.
Known for her charitable efforts, Ivana once again reached out to those in need—this time by personally preparing and distributing food to flood-affected individuals in Metro Manila.
In a video posted on her official Facebook page, Ivana is seen cooking and packing bowls of hot bulalo, a Filipino beef marrow stew, with rice and vegetables. More than just food, Ivana also gave out cash to the people she encountered on the streets.
Joining her in the effort were her family members, who helped pack the meals and distribute them across different areas.
The heartwarming act earned praise from netizens, who were quick to recognize Ivana’s genuine intentions.
“Ang daming bashers ni idol at ang daming gusto siyang i-down. Pero nakikita sa gawa at pagtulong niya sa kapwa na mabuti siyang tao. Best blogger influencer Keep going idol, never mind the noise. Marami ang nagmamahal sa’yo,” one commenter wrote.
“Buti pa ito si Ivana nagagawa ang mga bagay na hindi ginagawa ng mga pulitiko—ang pagtulong sa kapuwa. Kaya naman siksik at liglig ang balik sa kanya ng Panginoon. Siya talaga ang tunay na makatao,” added another.
This is not the first time Ivana has extended a helping hand during difficult times. Her quiet but consistent efforts, often unpublicized, are frequently acknowledged by those she assists—and by the growing number of followers who admire her authenticity.
