<p>Ivana Alawi admitted that she used to fire back against bashers. Among the words thrown at her include &quot;hubadera lang&quot; and &quot;puro retoke.&quot; </p><p>&quot;Dati talaga nagbabasa ako ng [comments] pero &#x27;yung manager ko tinuruan ako na don’t read, deadma na,&quot; Alawi said.</p><p>Saying that bashers don’t affect her now, she added: &quot;Hindi mo naman talaga maple-please lahat ng tao. That&#x27;s something that you should always keep in mind na may mga taong magugustuhan ito, may mga taong hindi.&quot; </p><p>&quot;Pero tuluy-tuloy lang ako. I don&#x27;t read comments na. Kung hindi nila gusto, salamat pa rin. Kasi kung papa-control ako sa kanila, anong maiisip kong content?&quot;</p><p>During the Perfume Dessert event in Makati City, the internet sensation also talked about her process as a vlogger and the most expensive thing she got for herself -- a watch. </p><p>&quot;Wala kaming script. Usually kapag may content or may pinost ako, I always make sure na authentic &#x27;yung pino-post ko. Ang importante sa akin ay walang script. Just be yourself. Tuluy-tuloy naman siya kung anong maisip ko,&quot; she said.</p><div><br/></div><div><span class="fr-img-caption fr-fic fr-dib" style="width:950px"><span class="fr-img-wrap"><img src="https://od2-image-api.abs-cbn.com/prod/editorImage/171834199748162704246-a95e-4aaf-8db5-51b1c477a9e9.jfif" style="width:950px" class="fr-fic fr-dib" alt="Content creator and actress Ivana Alawi"/><span class="fr-inner" style="text-align:left">Content creator and actress Ivana Alawi</span></span></span></div><p>For Alawi, YouTube is an outlet to express herself and to show people her everyday life — unfiltered. </p><div><a href="https://news.abs-cbn.com/entertainment/2024/5/9/ivana-alawi-from-youtube-to-tv-to-tiktok-2149" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Ivana Alawi: From YouTube to TV to Tiktok</a></div><p>As one of the most followed celebrities on YouTube with 17.9 million subscribers, Alawi shared this piece of advice: &quot;Be yourself. Believe in yourself. When it&#x27;s your time to shine, you will shine. Kunwari nag-start ka na and it&#x27;s not working, don&#x27;t give up kasi darating din &#x27;yung time mo.&quot;</p><p>Despite her success as a content creator, Alawi admitted that she still feels nervous every time she does her vlog, or when she pranks strangers on the street. </p><p>&quot;Kapag nagpra-prank ako sa kalye, kinakabahan talaga ako kasi anything can happen. Puwede akong sapakin,&quot; she said. &quot;Kabado talaga ako every time na may ginagawa ako sa public.&quot; </p><p>&quot;Kasi kapag nagba-vlog ako sa street, wala akong kasama. &#x27;Yung hairstylist ko lang pero malayo siya,” she revealed.</p><div><strong>&#x27;Batang Quiapo,&#x27; new movie, new endorsement </strong></div><p>In &quot;Batang Quiapo,&quot; Alawi plays Bubbles. While vlogging is her top priority, she also enjoys portraying characters.</p><p>&quot;It’s such a dream come true. Nagagawa ko &#x27;yung iba&#x27;t ibang acting like sa action scenes, sa drama. Ang ganda niya,&quot; she said.</p><p>&quot;Kasi sa content, I’m myself, I do it at my own time. Itong taping naman, MWF, tapos pagpasok mo dapat andoon ka na agad sa character mo,&quot; she shared.</p><p>She went on to praise &quot;Batang Quiapo&quot; star Coco Martin: &quot;Si Coco sobrang bait in everything, in action scenes, drama scenes. Kapag hindi ko nagagawa, kakausapin niya ako na ganito ang mas magandang delivery.&quot; </p><p>&quot;Very hands on si Coco, the directors, and the whole staff ng Batang Quiapo.&quot; </p><p>Just recently, Alawi collaborated with Perfume Dessert London, a brand owned by Filipina entrepreneur Ced Evangelista. She also announced her new movie.</p><div><a href="https://news.abs-cbn.com/video/entertainment/11/08/23/ivana-on-being-part-of-batang-quiapo-iba-ang-saya" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Ivana Alawi on being part of &#x27;Batang Quiapo&#x27;: &#x27;Iba ang saya&#x27;</a></div><div><strong>Related videos:</strong></div><div><ivs-player data-ivs-key="e8c22c015ca9eafa76f1e3edfa03c603" data-ivs-spid="3001339" data-ivs-vid="3024380"></ivs-player></div><script src="https://player.ivideosmart.com/ivsplayer/v4/dist/js/loader.js"></script><div><ivs-player data-ivs-key="e8c22c015ca9eafa76f1e3edfa03c603" data-ivs-spid="3001339" data-ivs-vid="3036589"></ivs-player></div><script src="https://player.ivideosmart.com/ivsplayer/v4/dist/js/loader.js"></script><div><ivs-player data-ivs-key="e8c22c015ca9eafa76f1e3edfa03c603" data-ivs-spid="3001339" data-ivs-vid="2918973"></ivs-player></div><script src="https://player.ivideosmart.com/ivsplayer/v4/dist/js/loader.js"></script>
