Ivana Alawi, an actress and social media sensation, gets overcome with emotion when discussing her sister Mona’s Type 1 diabetes fight.
Mona was diagnosed with cancer for the first time in 2011, the same year she began her career in show business.
Ivana claimed she was prepared to give up everything for her family’s health and well-being in an interview with Ogie Diaz for his YouTube vlog on October 13, 2021.
“Uubusin ko lahat. I don’t need money. For my family’s health, lahat iyon ibibigay ko.”
The actress also stated that she is always on the lookout for new treatment options for her younger sister, who suffers from a kind of diabetes in which “the immune system kills insulin-producing cells, also known as beta cells, in the pancreas.” It was previously known as juvenile diabetes.
Ivana revealed, “Kahit hanggang ngayon, naghahanap kami ng ano yung mas better. Minsan nga sinasabi ni Mona, ‘Ate, tama na, ang mahal ng ganito, ang mahal ng ganyan.’
“Sabi ko, ‘Mona, kaya nga ako naggaganito because I want to give you the best.’
“Alam mo yun, na bakit pa ako nagtatrabaho kung hindi ko naman ibibigay sa pamilya ko? Kasi that’s what inspires me. Mona, my mom, my brother, my sister.”
Ivana stated that she gets emotional when she sees her sister struggle with her illness. But she tries her hardest to maintain her composure in order to provide Mona with the support she requires.
Ivana told Ogie, “Umiiyak na lang ako. Sabi ko, ‘Mona, lumaban ka…’ Kasi minsan, merong mga time na napanghihinaan siya ng loob.
“Na parang, puro sakit e. Every day, all she feels is pain. So parang kami, ‘Mona, kung mawawala ka,’ sabi ko, ‘Hindi na ako magiging ganito, yung kuwela, yung masayahin.’
“Siguro, hindi ako makaka-move on.”
Ivana hopes that her sister will one day be able to live a normal, diabetes-free life.
She said, “I believe kasi in miracles. Alam kong isang araw gagaling siya.”
For the time being, Ivana is grateful that Mona is a “very, very strong person” who is feeling much better now that her illness has been treated.
“Ngayon, gumaganda na yung pakiramdam niya. Masaya siya kasi nagpa-ano kami, yung blood test, nakita na almost normal na naman so nakakatuwa. Ang bait ni Lord.”
