<p>Aside from her mesmerizing beauty and promising acting chops that we can see in her current stint as Bubbles in <a href="https://ent.abs-cbn.com/batangquiapo" target="_blank"><u><em><strong>FPJ’s Batang Quiapo</strong></em></u></a>, Ivana Alawi is also admired for her big heart not just for her family, but for other people, too.</p><p>And recently, she once again endeared us with another good deed as she fulfilled one of the “wildest dreams” of one of her followers, who’s also a Swiftie like her and her younger sister Mona – to attend the Singapore leg of the highly successful “The Eras Tour” concert of global superstar Taylor Swift. It can be recalled that in mid-February, she launched a giveaway across her social media accounts, in which the lucky winner would be bestowed with an all-expense paid trip to Singapore from March 6 to March 8 to watch the said massive show. The coveted prize was comprised of a VIP ticket, airplane tickets, and food and hotel.</p><div style="text-align:center"><img alt="Ivana Alawi" src="https://asset-ent.abs-cbn.com/updates/entertainment/2024/03/14/ivana-1.jpg"/></div><p>After weeks of waiting, the identity of the winner was finally unveiled in Ivana’s latest vlog, and she’s none other than Hanna, who currently resides and works in Cagayan de Oro. Actually, it was her boyfriend Francis who really won the raffle, but he opted to give it to her as a gift. Thus, Ivana teased her, “<em>Magpakasal na kayo. Pakasalan mo na ‘yan, huwag mo nang pakawalan.”</em></p><div><iframe allow="accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share" allowfullscreen="" frameBorder="0" height="703" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/gLCeuGUiJkk" title="TRIP TO SINGAPORE! *ERAS TOUR* | IVANA ALAWI" width="1250"></iframe></div><p>A day prior to the concert, Hanna had the wondrous opportunity to bond with the Alawi siblings as they roamed around the Cloud Forest at Gardens by the Bay, with Ivana even presenting to be her personal photographer. But before that, Hanna handed Ivana her gifts for her and Mona, which were two identical customized Taylor Swift mugs. The Alawi siblings then took her to a souvenir shop, where they told her to buy several Singapore mementos that she probably wanted to give her sweet boyfriend.</p><div style="text-align:center"><img alt="Ivana and Mona Alawi" src="https://asset-ent.abs-cbn.com/updates/entertainment/2024/03/14/ivana-2.jpg"/></div><p>Afterwards, they headed to Ivana’s go-to restaurant where they feasted on her favorite mouthwatering Singaporean chili crab. Since Hanna was too shy to take her portion, Ivana happily served her while also flexing the few Bisaya words she knew that she learned from their Mama Alawi. They might be already full, yet they still managed to have dessert.</p><p>As the day of the concert finally arrived, Mona got the biggest surprise of her life yet after Ivana was able to upgrade their tickets from VIP 2 to VIP 1, which was the nearest area to the stage. Being the loving big sister that she is, Ivana wanted her little sister to have “the best day” by giving her the once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to witness Taylor perform up close and personal, even though she had to shell out a whopping amount of money.</p><p>Although they weren’t able to purchase nor make friendship bracelets before coming to Singapore to trade with other Swifties, which has been a tradition among the fandom, they’re still able to receive a few pieces from Filo-Swifties they met. They were eventually joined by their brother Hash’s girlfriend Alexis and all of them were dressed according to the “era” they preferred the most, which is also another tradition for those attending the The Eras Tour.</p>

See how Ivana, her siblings Mona and Hash, and the lucky raffle winner had the time of their lives watching Taylor Swift’s concert in Singapore.
