Actress Ivana Alawi and her family made a vlog showing their birthday surprise for the family's youngest child, Mona Louise Rey or Mona Alawi.

Mona turned 17 years old on August 19 in a simple birthday celebration at home.

Ivana said in the beginning of the video, "Birthday ng ating baby girl. Hindi kami makalabas pero mag-celebrate na lang kami nang very simple.

Though Mona asked her family to not throw a fancy party, Ivana made sure her sister had a special day.

"Ayaw niya gumastos, mas gusto niyang ipamigay na lang sa inyo. Ayaw niya ng set-up," Ivana said.

She added, "We'll have a simple celebration, ayaw niya rin ng gifts.

"Pero as a strong girl, deserve niyang mabalik man lang sa kanyang kaarawan kahit konti ang pagpapasaya niya sa amin at sa inyo.

She's my baby girl, and she'll always be our baby girl."

Mona got teary-eyed when Ivana, their brother Hash Alawi, and Mama Fatima sang her a happy birthday and gave their gift, gaming console PlayStation 5.

"Sabi ko naman kahit wala ng gift basta magkakasama tayo," Mona said.

Ivana came to her defense and told her, "Girl, deserve mo 'yan, birthday mo. 'Wag kang magisip ng mahal. Matagal niya ng gusto ng PS5."

When the family gave their birthday wishes for Mona, their mom Fatima said, "Good health, sana gumaling na siya talaga.

"Kasi, guys, kapag nanay ka ang bigat sa dibdib. Pagaling na sana siya ni God, total healing for you."

Mona has been battling Type 1 Diabetes.

Fatima revealed a frightening incident two weeks prior to Mona's 17th birthday.

She related, "Natakot ako mga two weeks ago, kamuntik-muntikan... sobrang lamig na ng kamay niya. Kapag nakatayo siya, wala, bumabagsak na siya."

Mona narrated how her blood sugar dropped after accidentally injecting too much insulin.

"Sobrang bumagsak 'yung blood sugar ko nun kasi sumobra 'yung nilagay kong insulin."

"Akala ko at that time inaantok lang ako so nagko-computer pa ako. Sabi ko, sige, hihiga na lang ako.

"After noon, nagulat ako, akala ko nananaginip ako kasi nakikita ko 'yung sarili ko, pinipilit ako ni Mama na uminom ng sugar kasi kapag mababa kailangan liquid 'yung inumin mo para mabilis siyang umakyat.

"Sabi ko parang ngayon lang ako nanaginip ng ganito, hinihintay ko na lang na magising ako.

"Ilang minutes later, nalaglag ako sa kama kasi tina-try kong gumalaw pero wala akong control over my body. 'Tapos sabi ko wait lang akala ko panaginip..hindi ko kaya kahit small movements, doon ako natakot.

Ivana added, "Parang 'yung kaluluwa nasa labas na para panoorin 'yung sarili mo. Nagulat ako sa kanya, sabi sa akin, si Ate ni-reject ni God.

Mona agreed, "Hindi ko pa oras, hindi pa pwede."

In connection, Fatima gave her daughter an advice when choosing a boyfriend.

She noted, "Kapag maghahanap ka ng boyfriend mo sisiguraduhin mo 'yung aalagaan ka.
