She originally planned to become a Bb. Pilipinas Queen first. But who would have thought that fate would bring her halfway around the world to Bolivia in South America as Reina Hispanoamericana Filipinas 2017 and eventually establish pageant history as the first Filipina (and first Asian) to win the crown of Reina Hispanoamericana 2017.
Teresita Ssen “Win-Wyn” Marquez grew up in the world of local showbusiness and politics. Her parents – actor/comedian/former City Mayor Joey Marquez and actress Alma Moreno – eventually rubbed off the excitement of being in front of the camera to this exotic beauty whose dancing prowess and love for acting were put to good use when she became a TV celebrity with GMA-7.
But the performer in Win-Wyn wanted more than just the klieg lights and endless hours on the set. So when she finally decided to go the pageant route, it was just a matter of time before she would win a national title.
Sta. Cruz, Bolivia was an entirely unique experience for our Reina. Along with brother Yeoj, she withstood the city’s tropical savanna climate where “surazos” or the cold winds from the Argentine pampas make the temperature drop considerably.
She aggressively continued with her mission and unleashed the fiery performer in her to outclass all the Latinas in her way to be crowned as the best last year.
Win-wyn is now classified as a movie actress as well. She has also become a leading lady of comedian Vhong Navarro in the movie “Unli Life” and has just finished another one where she plays the prime character opposite actor Enzo Pineda.
Tonight (or tomorrow morning in Manila), she will crown her Reina Hispanoamericana successor and will return to Manila soon after to face more showbiz commitments. I offer now a toast to the woman who has helped in making the pageant brand become more popular in this part of the world and elsewhere. You have already started building your legacy, although I know there will be more to the current purpose in life that you are planning for yourself to achieve. Politics in a few years or so, perhaps?
Salud, Teresita Ssen!

Attention, ALV and gang! The novelty of Teresita Marquez and Filipinas at RH took a not-unexpected nosedive when we failed to deliver on our calls to send someone who is Spanish fluent. The organizers were probably dismayed with Muhlach-Alvarez; now we come across as the bad guy, for not taking that essential competence seriously.
Yes, RH got the shot of publicity it needed to become known to a wider audience. But what if a highly articulate and beautiful Singaporean or Japanese (and we all know that not a few Latinos have Japanese ancestry!) lass fluent in Spanish after years of formal education in Madrid was invited to participate in a future edition, what now of Filipinas’ claim of three centuries of Iberian rule? Nganga!
Spare us all even more distress. DO NOT RENEW THIS FRANCHISE ANYMORE. And just take Supranational away from BPCI (so your “Supraman” next year will have a queen).
I know right…..it’s all about just the bragging rights of being colonized, having “my great great grandparent being Spanish” or claiming oh yeah I’m part Spanish because my last name is Spanish (but physically I got a flat nose and dark skin) are the only things that Filipinos still claim to have direct connection with Spain, can’t really speak Spanish to begin with or really have no true knowledge of the culture. 🤷🏻♂️🤷🏻♂️🤷🏻♂️🤷🏻♂️
The downfall of the Philippines. No placement sa Miss Earth ,ligwak sa grand at sa Hispano. But the big but I’m pretty sure we will get MI and Miss U
Vietnam is Miss Earth 2018👏👏

Sayang c Vietnam kinulang ng time pero nakahabol naman yung sagot😊
Gusto ko c Austria manalo pero malakas din c Mexico bcoz nagspanish nga cya hihihi cherette.
Kung nagspanish sana c Colombia baka sya ang winner pero Di yata naintindihan yung ‘pressure’ sa question ☺
Nasa Top 8 ang may dugong pinoy Philippines and Austria.
Bongga ang sagot ng mga latina like Mexico and Venezuela.
Sana pasok c Austria sa Top 4.
Nagkalat sa Q & A ang lola mu.
