Winwyn Marquez finishes military reservist training at the top of her class!

Beauty, brains, and brawn, Winwyn Marquez truly is a triple threat.

Last August 2020, Winwyn announced that she has officially begun her Basic Citizen's Military training (BCMT) under the Philippine Navy.

After months of intense drills and exercises, Winwyn has finally completed her military reservist training! In her latest Instagram post, the beauty queen-turned-military reservist detailed her struggles and triumphs to complete the course.

According to her, "Last February, I enlisted to become a Marine Reservist under the Philippine Naval Reserve Command & when COVID-19 hit us we were asked if we still wanted to continue with our training and I said YES.

"During these difficult times, attending this Reservist Training (which I religiously attended all classroom lectures, drills, and even joined the 3-day Field Training Exercise in Cavite as the culmination of our training course) has become one of my motivations to keep on moving forward and to continue to serve others despite the limitations and uncertainties."

One of the reasons why Winwyn decided to push through with her training was to inspire strength in her fellow Filipinas.

"I am also honored to be one of the small number of women to join this training as it matches with my passion to encourage and empower our Filipino women.

"The training was no easy feat as I was expected to experience hardship just like everyone with no special treatment or privileges. I was seen not as 'Winwyn the actress and beauty queen' but as Cadet Marquez - a fellow Filipina and sister to my batch mates," she wrote.

She also took time to give thanks to everyone who supported her in this journey.

"Thanks to the support of my batch, family, and other like-minded people around me, I have completed the course with realizations I never knew I would learn and also a new set of classmates-turned-family.

"Through this breakthrough, I will be able to exemplify that anyone, regardless of the field of expertise, gender, or age can join and be someone they thought they can never be as long as they have the heart to serve."

Winwyn had quite the decorated portfolio during her in the BCMT -- not only was she voted Batch Class President, she also finished at the top of her class and at the top of the physical fitness rankings.

Congratulations on your latest feat, Winwyn!
