Mona Al-Alawi (Arabic: ماربيا منى العلاوي),[1] better known by her stage name Mona Louise Rey (born 19 August 2004 in Manila, Philippines), is a Filipino child actress and commercial model.[2]

Career

Rey 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.[3][4] 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.[5]

Personal life

Mona Louise Rey is the youngest of four siblings born to a Filipino mother, Fatima Marbella, and a Moroccan father, Samier Al-Alawi. Rey's mother separated from her father when she was pregnant with Rey and went to Manila in 2004. Rey's mother left her three older children with their father and would not be returned to her in Manila until 2006.[1]

Rey suffers from Type 1 diabetes, a disease she was diagnosed with in 2011, the year she started her career in show business. She is the only one in her family who suffers from the illness. 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.[6][7]

Rey and her family are born again Christians.[8] She has an older sister, Ivana Alawi, who auditioned for StarStruck in 2015 as Mariam Al-Alawi and is now working at ABS-CBN.[9]
