In an interview with the media at the recent TikTok Summit in Shangri-La The Fort in Taguig City, Ivana said that her income in TikTok is for her family, while her salary as an actress are invested into properties. 

“'Yung revenue ko for TikTok Shop, it's actually also for the family kasi they help me with the business so nag-sheshare kami. 'Yung pag-aartista naman, nilalagay ko siya sa properties so ito nilalagay ko sa bank,” she said, answering a query from Philstar.com.

Ivana said that she’s not struggling to balance her time doing live selling while being an actress. 

“'Yung pagla-live stream, you can do it sa morning, afternoon, sa gabi sa madaling araw, ang daming buyers, ang daming viewers ang daming tao sa sa TikTok Shop and that's one thing I like kasi yung schedule ko hindi ko alam kung anong oras mag pack out 'yung taping or kung may gagawin ba ko the next day or nasa shoot ako,” she said. 

“So 'pag umuuwi ako, I get to do it at home." — Video by Anjilica Andaya, with reports from Deni Rose M. Afinidad-Bernardo
