According to Ivana, she has been creating street pranks for a long time and always follows one important rule: ask for permission. She reminded her followers that in many of her vlogs, people are blurred when they do not give consent. In the “Buntis” video, several faces were blurred for that reason. She said they only show those who agree to appear on camera.

Ivana explained that the issue started when a man featured in the vlog later claimed online that the video should be taken down because he was receiving negative comments. But Ivana insisted that the man did not refuse when the team asked for his permission. She said she simply focused on handing the money to Kuya Hesus, the person she intended to help after witnessing his kindness during the prank.

She also revealed that they recorded long raw footage showing the full interaction. In that video, the man clearly agreed to be included in the vlog. Ivana said they showed him the footage again when the issue surfaced, and he apologized, explaining that he had simply forgotten what he agreed to. He also admitted that some people teased him after watching the vlog, telling him he missed out on the ₱100,000 that was given to Kuya Hesus.
