Kapamilya star and social media personality Ivana Alawi recently delighted her fans by sharing a video of herself enjoying a meal of sardines, a product she endorses.
In the video, Ivana is seen pouring a can of sardines over rice, adding a squeeze of calamansi, and spicing it up with siling labuyo. She then proceeds to eat the meal with her hands, savoring every bite.
Ivana took this moment to remind her followers about the importance of appreciating whatever food is available and not wasting it.
“Halos lahat na yata ng Pinoy nakatikim na ng sardinas. Alam n’yo guys, basta may pagkain tayo blessing na ‘yan. Kaya dapat nagpapasalamat tayo at siyempre huwag magsasayang ng pagkain…” she said.
The video sparked memories among netizens of the viral “sardines eating challenge” by the controversial content creator Tito Mars, who faced backlash for his reactions while eating sardines.

Tito Mars later explained in another video that he did not intend to disrespect the food commonly eaten by less privileged people.
Netizens were quick to draw comparisons between Ivana’s video and Tito Mars’ challenge.
Even Kapuso comedy star and TV host Pokwang chimed in with her reaction to Ivana’s sardine-eating video, joining the lively online conversation about the incident.
