Celebrity vlogger Ivana Alawi recently opened up about a terrifying experience with a stalker that left her fearful of making content in her own home.
Ivana shared the story during an interview on socialite Small Laude’s recent vlog, recalling how a fan’s obsession escalated to an alarming level.
“‘Yung pinaka-weird na encounter ko [sa fan], pumasok ‘yung isang fan sa loob ng bahay. Nag-start siya pumunta sa bahay for one week straight,” Ivana recounted.
The stalker, whom the actress found out worked at a call center, even applied to become her boyfriend.
“Una, nagbigay siya ng résumé kung bakit dapat siya maging boyfriend ko. Ten pages, Tita. ‘Yung work niya, ano ‘yung past [or] previous. Eh nanay ko nakatanggap. Tapos meron siyang dalang bulalo na nakalagay sa ice cream na box,” the actress recalled the events.
“Tapos ‘yung folder na résumé niya and anong mga gagawin niya kung maging boyfriend ko siya. Call center agent siya, nandun sa resumé niya eh,” Alawi added. “Natakot ako, Tita.”
The unsettling encounters reportedly escalated when the fan returned with a photo of Ivana with burned edges.
“After nun bumalik ulit siya, may dala namang picture, tapos sinunog niya ‘yung gilid ng picture ko. I don’t know kung anong trip niya.”
Ivana said she became even more anxious after learning that the man had managed to enter their home despite security restrictions.
“Bumalik ulit siya after pinasabi sa guard bawal pumasok. Pero iba, nakakalusot pa rin siya. And then nakita na lang siya ng driver namin na nasa loob na. [Tanong ng driver namin], ‘Sino ka?’ [Sabi niya], ‘Ah boyfriend na ako,’” the content creator narrated the events.
Fortunately, Ivana never had a direct encounter with the stalker, “Hindi ako lumabas. Buti na lang nasa second floor ako. Nasa loob na siya, pumapasok na siya ng bahay. Stalker, Tita.”
Following the incident, Ivana said she became more cautious about sharing details of her home in vlogs and social media.
“Kaya after nun maingat na ako sa gate. Hindi ko na pino-post ‘yung gate namin, ‘yung ganun,” she said.
