How Winwyn Marquez juggled pageantry, motherhood in Miss Universe Philippines run

Winwyn Marquez set foot on the Miss Universe Philippines (MUPH) 2025 stage armed with years of experience. She was a standout candidate from the get-go, having competed in Binibining Pilipinas in 2015, Miss World Philippines in 2017, and in the 2017 Reina Hispanoamericana, where she won the country’s first-ever crown in the Latin American pageant.
