Ivana Alawi: “hindi mo kailangang maging mayor or councilor para makatulong ka”

Actress and vlogger Ivana Alawi made a strong statement about her belief that one does not have to enter politics in order to serve the public.

In a Tiktok video, Ivana admitted that there a lot of people sending her messages asking if she is going to run for public office. Ivana took the opportunity to answer that question:

“Ang daming nagme-message sa akin recently na, ‘Ivana, tatakbo ka ba?’ And guys, I think it’s the perfect opportunity and the perfect time for me to finally tell you, at sana ibigay n’yo ‘yung buong suporta n’yo sa desisyon kong ‘to, sana suportahan n’yo ko sa hindi ko pagtakbo,” said Ivana.

“Bakit naman ako tatakbo sa ngayon? Wala akong alam sa politics, wala akong alam sa paggawa ng batas. Siguro kung papasok man ako sa ganyan, dapat mag-aral man lang ako ng three to four years because I don’t want to put our country at risk,” she said.

“Kayang-kaya nating gawin ‘yon even without being into politics… Hindi mo kailangang maging congressman or mayor or councilor para makatulong ka. We can all help out in our small ways.” Ivana added.

“Vote Wisely. Kung boboto ka sana yung may tiwala ka sa tao. Hindi porke’t sexy sya, ayy maganda sya ayy gwapo sya, ayy sikat sya napanood ko sya. Dapat hindi ganun. Dapat may tiwala ako sa kanya. Alam ko may magagawa sya para sa Pilipinas. Magaling yan.” Ivana said.
