Ivana Alawi Highlights Fishermen’s Struggles in Latest Vlog

Ivana Alawi Sheds Light on the Plight of Fishermen in Her New Vlog

IVANA ALAWI – Actress and popular content creator Ivana Alawi highlights the daily hardships faced by local fishermen in her latest vlog, giving viewers a deeper look into their challenging livelihood.

Ivana Alawi has once again captured the hearts of netizens, not just with her charm, but with her genuine concern for ordinary Filipinos. In her most recent YouTube vlog posted on April 2, Alawi went on a fishing trip with real-life fishermen, shining a spotlight on their daily struggles and sacrifices.

The video, which has already garnered over 4 million views, features Alawi joining 25-year veteran fisherman Tatay Elmer and his fellow workers on a day at sea. The group sets out early in hopes of a good catch, but unfortunately returns to shore empty-handed. It was a harsh reminder of the uncertainty these fishermen face daily.

Tatay Elmer shared with Alawi that he typically earns around Php 1,000 per day. However, half of that income goes to boat rental, and the remaining Php 500 is split among five crew members. This leaves each fisherman with only Php 100—a heartbreaking amount considering the hard labor involved.

To cope with such a minimal income, Tatay Elmer revealed that he often takes on other jobs and occasionally seeks help from organizations like the Agricultural Sector Alliance of the Philippines, Inc. (AGAP). Despite the odds, he continues to work tirelessly to support his family.

Moved by his story, Alawi offered financial assistance to Tatay Elmer at the end of the video to help cover his family’s expenses. This kind gesture touched many viewers and earned widespread praise across social media. Netizens commended Alawi for using her platform not just for entertainment, but to raise awareness of the struggles faced by marginalized sectors like fishermen.

Ivana’s vlog stands as a powerful reminder of the challenges that many Filipinos endure daily—and the difference a bit of compassion can make.
