Winwyn Marquez

Actress Teresita “Winwyn” Ssen Marquez, daughter of actors Alma Moreno and Joey Marquez, made history in Bolivia as the first Asian to be proclaimed Reina Hispanoamericana on Nov. 4 (Nov. 5 in Manila). In the final round, she said “Language can be learned. But the will and determination to contribute to the organization cannot. It has to come from the heart. It has to be natural. I believe that kindness is a universal language. If you treat people with patience, tolerance and love, you will understand each other. The Hispanic culture is not about language only. It’s about love for God, love for country, love of history and culture, and love for family. And as a Filipina with a unique heritage, I have instilled that I amready to promote the Hispanic culture not just in Asia but in the whole world.”
