Winwyn was asked, "How would you promote Hispanic-American culture with the great difficulty of the language barrier?"

Through a translator, the beauty queen's answer was translated into Spanish. She answered, "Language can be learned. But the will and determination to contribute something to the organization can not. It has to come from the heart, and it has to be natural. I believe that kindness is a universal language. That if you treat people with tolerance, patience, and love you will understand each other."

She added, "The Hispanic culture is not about language only, it's about love for God, love for country, love for history and culture, and love for family. And as a Filipina with a unique heritage, I have instilled that. I am ready to promote the Hispanic culture, not just in Asia but in the whole world. It is time to celebrate the Hispanic culture. It is meant to be celebrated. Gracias."
