YouTuber and actress Ivana Alawi finally voices out her opinion and comment regarding the issue of possible lawsuit that can be filed against her for the recent vlog she posted on her channel. On the said video, the famous internet star disguised herself as a beggar asking for alms on strangers. If someone gives her alms, she would reveal herself and multiply the amount given to her to 1000’s and then give it in return to the kind-hearted strangers.
The video garnered many reactions from netizens. Some felt happy and proud of their idol, some were skeptical and criticized Ivana’s actions and idea about the video. There are also others who pointed out that she might face possible charges and lawsuits against her for doing the vlog. According to the law, known as the Anti-Mendicancy Law which clearly states, “Presidential Decree No. 1563 or Anti-Mendicancy Law which prohibits begging or soliciting charitable donations by the poor and other religious organizations on the streets. Giving alms to beggars is also prohibited by law.”
Because of this, mixed reactions sparked towards the wholesome video the actress uploaded on her channel. Ivana speaks out about the issue, and clearly stated her stance in the situation.
On a video clip, she addresses the issue and expresses her own opinion about her vlog.
“Kung may nalabag akong batas, edi kasuhan na lang nila ako, haharapin ko yun, lalaban ako ‘di ba!” she said.
“Kasi para sa akin, I didn’t do anything wrong! Ang intensyon ko is just to help out and to inspire people. Wala akong tinapakan na tao, wala akong nasaktan na tao and masaya ako sa video and I will do ito again!” Ivana explained on a video.
While many of her social media followers still salute and admire her kind heart towards the poor, Ivana is always known to be giving and kind towards those who are in need. In fact, this isn’t the first time Ivana donated or extended her help for those in need. When a recent super typhoon struck the country, she assembled relief goods and provided aid in kind for those who were greatly affected by the calamity.
So having talked about a lawsuit for helping? Ivana dares everyone to file a lawsuit towards her, and explained that she only wanted to help those who deserved helping.
