Social media sensation and actress Ivana Alawi said she now prioritizes work and family over her love life. During her contract signing with ABS-CBN on July 19, Ivana shared that being on the network for three years is where she is supposed to be now. Becoming a full-time content creator and actress, Ivana is known for her content on giving back to her family and the community. When she was asked about her views on her current love life situation, she answered that it was not her priority. "Actually hindi na ako nagmamadali, dati talaga naghahanap ako. Pero ngayon, I'm just really enjoying life, I'm enjoying my work, and I'm enjoying my family and vlogging, so kapag dumating, dumating pero hindi ko siya priority," she said. (Actually, I'm not in a hurry anymore. I used to really look for it. But now, I'm just really enjoying life. I'm enjoying my work, and I'm enjoying my family and vlogging, so when it comes, it comes, but it's not my priority)
