Actress Ivana Alawi has officially bid farewell to her ‘FPJ’s Batang Quiapo’ family.

In an emotional social media post on Tuesday, Alawi reflected on her journey with the hit Kapamilya series and expressed her heartfelt gratitude to everyone involved.

Recalling the early days when she was offered the role, Alawi shared her initial doubts and the faith she placed in ABS-CBN and the show’s director, Coco Martin. “Nung unang inalok sakin ang Batang Quiapo, isang malaking tanong ang pumasok sa isip ko. Bakit ako? Kaya ko ba ito? Deserve ko ba? Pero dala na ng aking tiwala sa ABS-CBN lalo na kay Tita Cory, Direk Coco, at sa panalangin ko din, tinanggap ko siya ng buong puso. At sobrang proud ako sa show na ito,” she wrote.

Alawi extended her appreciation to her co-stars, the production team, and the viewers who supported her throughout her stint on the show. “Kaya naman gusto ko magpasalamat sa lahat ng bumubuo ng Batang Quiapo. Mula kay Direk Coco, hanggang sa lahat ng mga artistang nakasama ko, technical staff, production staff, at sa mga utilities… Salamat sa pag aalaga ninyo sa akin. At ngayong tapos na ang isang chapter ng buhay ko sa Batang Quiapo, babaunin ko lahat ng natutunan ko,” she said.

She also thanked the show’s audience for their unwavering support. “From the bottom of my heart maraming salamat sa inyong lahat, sa inyong walang sawang pagtanggap sa akin gabi-gabi, sa pagmamahal niyo kay Bubbles. Salamat po ng marami at sana patuloy niyo parin supportahan ang Batang Quiapo,” she added. “Hanggang sa muli, Bubbles signing off.”

In Monday’s episode, Alawi’s character Bubbles was dramatically gunned down by David, played by McCoy De Leon. The episode saw ‘FPJ’s Batang Quiapo’ achieve an impressive 596,164 concurrent viewers on Kapamilya Online Live, as announced by Dreamscape Entertainment.

‘FPJ’s Batang Quiapo’ continues to air on Kapamilya Channel, Kapamilya Online Live, Cinemo, A2Z, TV5, iWantTFC, and TFC.
