The complaint, which is now circulating among legal and media circles, directly names Ivana Alawi as allegedly having a “current illicit relationship” with Mayor Benitez. The document, filed by Nikki herself, paints a picture of betrayal and a brewing legal battle that could have serious consequences for all involved.

Fueling the controversy is a now-resurfaced 2024 incident where both Ivana and Mayor Benitez were spotted at a Japanese airport. At the time, the two denied any romantic connection, claiming it was a mere coincidence that they ended up at the same location. However, critics and fans alike are revisiting the moment in light of Nikki’s formal allegations — and demanding answers.

Silence from the Accused

As of today, neither Ivana Alawi nor Mayor Albee Benitez has issued an official statement regarding the claims. Their silence is only intensifying speculation, as online discourse reaches fever pitch. Social media is abuzz with mixed reactions — some expressing disbelief, others pointing fingers, and many calling for the truth to come out.

A Reputation on the Line

Ivana Alawi, one of the Philippines’ most beloved and followed celebrities, has previously steered clear of major controversies — until now. This accusation threatens to disrupt her clean image, potentially affecting her endorsements and her massive online following.

Mayor Benitez, on the other hand, faces not only personal but also political ramifications. If the allegations gain legal traction or further public scrutiny, they could shake his standing in both his constituents’ eyes and the wider political landscape.
