At the Miss World Philippines 2017 Zalora Fashion Show on Monday, actress Alma Moreno expressed full support for daughter Winwyn Marquez's dream to win the crown.

"Tinext ko siya ngayon, kasi bawal sa loob, 'Wyn andito kami lahat ngayon sa labas nakasuporta kasama ko si Mark, sabi ko nga kay Wyn basta handa lang siya. Sumali ka diyan para manalo pero tandaan mo ang panginoon pa rin 'yan. 'Pag ibibigay sa'yo, pasalamatan mo." she said.

She revealed that the advice she always gives her daughter is to pray through everything.

"Lagi ko sinasabi sa kanya, bago ka lumabas ng kuwarto  mo o kung saan ka man, magpray ka muna, prayers ang importante," she said.

The actress said she is thankful to the father of her daughter, comedian Joey Marquez, for finally supporting Wyn's dream to become a beauty queen.

"Nagpapasalamat din ako, of course sa daddy niya, kay Joey, dahil finally nakasuporta siya ngayon dahil nung una ayaw niya, pero ngayon nakikita mo na sumusuporta na rin siya."

Alma said she sees her daughter as a smart woman. She also mentioned that she thinks Wyn got her walk from her aunt Melanie Marquez who was a beauty queen in the '90s.

"Alam ko matalino po ang anak ko, sobra po kung mag-aral po siya walang tigil hanggang ngayon 'di ba, nag-teacher na nga siya, graduate na nga siya nag-aral pa rin talaga at nakita ko Marquez talaga, kay ate Melanie ang lakad niya."

Moreno said her daughter has been working on her advocacy on children's education even before joining pageants, she said Wyn has a soft spot for kids.

"Si Winwyn kasi nung SK chairman siya, talagang concern niya is sa kabataan talaga, pag-aaral tsaka talagang ngayong nagartista siya, 'yung maliliit, talagang nagpapafeeding siya,  ' yun talaga siya, kung nasaan ang puso niya, andoon talaga." — Jannielyn Ann Bigtas/LA/KVD, GMA News
