In a recent episode of Ivana Alawi’s vlog, Kapuso Primetime Queen Marian Rivera took the spotlight in a surprise appearance that left viewers both entertained and emotionally moved.

The two actresses engaged in a mukbang session, answering questions posed by Ivana’s sister, Mona.

Right from the start, Ivana couldn’t contain her admiration for Marian, declaring, “Pinaka-maganda at pinaka-idol ko, Ms. Marian Rivera.”

As the conversation unfolded, Marian shared her sentiments about her iconic role in MariMar, expressing that it holds a special place in her heart as a breakthrough in her career.

Adding a rare insight into her private life, Marian disclosed to Ivana, “Bihirang-bihira ako tumanggap ng nag-iinterview sa akin na ginagawa dito sa bahay, isa ka dun sa nag-yes ako, oh diba.”

The actresses explored the topic of rewinding time, with Marian expressing her desire to revisit the moments when her children, Zia and Sixto, were still little. “Hindi naman sa ayaw kong malaki na sila pero ang sarap kasi nung mga maliliit pa sila,” she nostalgically shared.

Currently promoting the film “Rewind,” an entry in the 2023 Metro Manila Film Festival, Marian stars alongside her husband, Dingdong Dantes. The vlog took an unexpected turn when Marian, in a playful twist, pranked Ivana for being late to the shoot.

Toward the end of the vlog, Marian called out Ivana for being klate, leaving the young actress visibly emotional.

This led to a dramatic confrontation, with Marian declaring she would never collaborate with Ivana again, leaving the latter in tears.

However, the tearful moment turned out to be a brilliantly orchestrated prank by Mona, marking Marian’s first-ever attempt at such mischief.

The revelation of the prank came as a shock, proving the effectiveness of Marian’s acting skills. Mona, the mastermind behind the prank, explained, “Medyo hesitant si Ate Marian, si Ms. Marian, sa pagpapaiyak ng ate ko. Pero eto po talaga ‘yung love language namin kaya okay lang po talaga. It means we love each other.”

Ivana, overwhelmed with emotions, exclaimed, “wala na, wala na tatalo sa prank na ‘to, ‘yung pinrank ka ng idol mo.”

Marian, showing her caring side, presented a birthday cake to Ivana, who is celebrating her birthday soon.
