WinWyn, may natanggap na malaking regalo kay Joey

Kahit ‘di naiuwi ang korona ng Miss U

Hindi man nakuha ang korona bilang Miss Universe Philippines 2025 ay masaya naman umano si Winwyn Marquez sa pagkapanalo ni Ahtisa Manalo.

Matatandaang nagkalaban ang dalawang beauty queens sa naturang beauty pageant kung saan nanalo si Winwyn bilang 1st runner-up. “We all wanted to win the Miss Universe crown, but alam ko that it’s destined for one person, and that’s Ahtisa. I want to celebrate other people’s success. That’s me eh, gano’n ako pinalaki. We live in a world that’s so unkind already and least we can do is to uplift others. And I want to see someone happy in their moment. And kung sana, kung mangyari sa akin ‘yung time ko again, not just in pageant, I hope they celebrated with me with the same heart,” makahulugang pahayag sa amin ni Winwyn sa Fast Talk with Boy Abunda.

Isang mamahaling regalo umano ang ibinigay ng amang si Joey Marquez kay Winwyn pagkatapos ng pageant. “I was asking for a painting way before, a Lamarroza painting. Sabi ko, ‘Dad, can I have that painting kapag nanalo ako?’ Sabi niya, ‘No, mag-top 10 ka lang, okay na. Ibibigay ko sa ‘yo.’ Gano’n ‘yung expectation niya sa akin. So sabi ko, okay, my dad just wants me to enjoy. Because before I joined Miss Universe Philippines, ang sabi niya sa akin, ‘Do not join if you are after fame or money.’ If you’re joining because you want to make a statement, na in your season as a mother, na kaya mong gawin, ‘yon ang gawin mo.’ And that’s what happened. And I have the painting. After the coronation night, my birthday, dala-dala niya ‘yung painting. ‘This is it, anak. This is yours.’ He was so happy, na makita niyang may 1st runner-up sash ako, tuwang-tuwa siya. I love my parents for raising me the way they raised me,” nakangiting kwento ng Miss Universe Philippines 1st runner-up.

Todo umano ang suportang ibinigay ng mga magulang kay Winwyn sa buong kumpetisyon. Sa magkaibang pamamaraan ay naiparamdam nina Joey at Alma Moreno ang pagmamahal at suporta sa anak. “My dad, first time niya yatang ginawa ito. May voting system kasi ang Miss Universe Philippines, grabe siyang mag-vote, Tito Boy. Feeling ko lahat ng products nabili na niya para iboto ako. Ang ginawa niya sa products, pinamigay niya sa lahat ng kakilala niya. My dad was really invested in the pageant because he was happy that I was happy,” pagdedetalye ni Winwyn.

“Stage mom si mama forever. Kahit ‘yung walk ko sasabihin niya, ‘Hindi, ganito gawin mo. sayawan mo siya,’ always stage mom. She’s just happy. ‘Yon ang different, I didn’t lose anything. Even if I didn’t win the Miss Universe crown, the best crown that I’ll ever wear is me being a mother and the family that I have. ‘Yon ang pinaka-importante sa akin,” dagdag pa ni Winwyn.
