Mona Marbella Al-Alawi (Tagalog: [ˈmɔnɐ ɐˈlaʊɪ]; born August 19, 2004), then-credited as Mona Louise Rey,[2] is a Filipino actress and model. She is known for appearing in the television series Munting Heredera (2011–2012), Aso ni San Roque (2012–2013), Luna Blanca (2012), Bukod Kang Pinagpala (2013), and My BFF (2014), among others.[3]

Career

Alawi was born in Manila, Philippines. She started her career in show business playing the title role of Jennifer Montereal in the hit GMA Network family drama Munting Heredera that aired for more than a year.[4][5] She then portrayed the role of Fatima Salvador, a blind girl with a golden heart who is an offspring of a mortal and a manananggal, in the same network's fantaserye Aso ni San Roque.[6]

Personal life

Mona Alawi is the youngest of four siblings born to a Filipino mother, Fatima Marbella, and a Moroccan father, Samier Al-Alawi. One of her older sisters, Ivana Alawi, is an actress and social media influencer with millions of followers.[7] Alawi's mother separated from her father when she was pregnant with her and went to Manila in 2004. Alawi's mother left her three older children with their father; Alawi would not be reunited with her in Manila until 2006.[8] Alawi and her family are Catholic.[9]

Alawi has Type 1 diabetes, a disease she was diagnosed with in 2011, the year she started her career in show business. As a result, she has to maintain a strict daily regimen of insulin self-injections and avoiding foods and drinks rich in sugar and carbohydrates.[10][11]
