She has directly addressed the matter.
In the past few days, a clip of actress-content creator Ivana Alawi circulated on social media. There, the popular personality was seen distributing relief packs to some residents in a cerrain area who were affected by floods brought by the adverse weather conditions in Luzon.
Netizens criticized Ivana for distributing the packs in a flooded spot of a road, with many pointing out that another portion that sits at a much higher elevation was clear.
Then on weekend, the 29-year-old uploaded a new reel on her social media page to show how she distributed the relief packs that she purchased and repacked in a previous video.
Seen in the said were people who linedup to get aid, while Ivana personally handed out the goods and a cash assistance in some places.
In the comments section of the post, she also took the opportunity to respond to the criticisms.
“Sa mga nagkakalat ng hate dahil bakit hindi sa tuyong area tumigil, Sana alamin niyo din kung bakit nandoon sa gitna ng baha ang truck natin,” she said.
According to her, the truck carrying the relief packs was stalled due to floodwater by afternoon of the all-day distribution that she made.
Alawi further explained, “Kaya habang sinusubukan naming ayusin para lumipat sa ibang area, may mga biglang pumila at nag stop din kung saan tumirik. Bumabalik lang din kami sa area kung san natigil ang truck namin para makahakot din ng relief goods para madala sa ibang area.“
To end, she wrote: “Sana ay maunawaan din ang buong sitwasyon bago tayo manghusga.“
