"Milyonarya na ako!"
This was the reaction of Ivana Alawi's mother after the actress-vlogger gave her checks worth P1 million as a belated birthday gift.
In her video uploaded Saturday, November 13, Ivana explained that she gifted her "Mama Alawi" money as the latter had wanted little in terms of material things.
She also said that it was her way of making it up to her mother after she fell sick on her birthday and was not able to join the family's celebration.
Mama Alawi turned another year older last November 8.
"Nung birthday niya ... kumain sila sa labas, hindi ako nakasama kasi hindi ako makatayo. I felt so bad, I wanted to make it up to her so dinala ko siya rito sa Vineyard [resort]. Hindi pa niya alam kung ano 'yung gagawin naming surprise. Nagpa-set-up ako ng balloons nang konti para, alam mo 'yun, ma-feel niya, kasi wala talaga akong ginawa sa birthday niya," Ivana explained.
But as seen in the now-viral vlog, the actress did not simply hand her mother the checks. Instead, Mama Alawi had to search for all 10 checks at the resort's extensive grape vineyard in just under a couple of minutes.

In total, Ivana's mother received P1.2 million as a birthday present from her children, as the popular vlogger revealed that her siblings, Hash and Mona, also gave Mama Alawi P100,000 each on her special day.
Ivana, who is one of the most popular YouTubers in the country, is not one to hold back when it came to surprising her mother and siblings.
Just last January the actress made headlines after she surprised her mother with a brand new car.
