Ivana, Naging Emosyonal Habang Pinag-Uusapan ang Yumaong Ama Niya

Earlier this week, sexy actress Ivana Alawi was invited to the morning talk show "Magandang Buhay." During her interview with the hosts, Karla Estrada, Melai Cantiveros, and Jolina Magdangal, the former "Ang Probinsyano" actress can't help but feel emotional while talking about her late father.

Ivana's mother is Filipina, while her father is of Moroccan descent. Throughout her childhood, Ivana's father has been absent in their lives. While struggling, Ivana and her younger sister, Mona Louise Rey, entered the limelight to support their family.

However, when Ivana was already a young adult, she started to get in touch with her father once again. According to the 23-year-old actress, her father has been incredibly supportive of her career, and would even watch her regularly on "FPJ's Ang Probinsyano."

Their correspondence became consistent, and Ivana's father regularly texts her to tell her how proud he is. However, one day, Ivana's father summoned her to visit him in a hospital in Subic, where he was staying for quite some time due to his illness.

According to the actress, she only got to spend five minutes with her dad before he passed away. Much to Ivana's surprise, her father left her a lot of properties, including his mansion and cars in Bahrain. All of there were bequeathed under her name:

"Akala ko kasi he forgot about us. Pero ang dami niyang iniwan na properties...Nakita ko sa paper, lahat nasa name ko. And then parang he said, 'Ikaw na ang bahala sa mga kapatid mo.' Kasi he knows mahal ko silang lahat."

Even though the properties were left under her name, Ivana doesn't consider it her own. In fact, she's more than willing to share it with her mother and her 3 siblings.
