Wyn Marquez on joining beauty pageants: 'I'm not closing any doors'

Interview by JANIS GOPEZ

While at the new product launch of Filipino cosmetics brand, Happy Skin, GMANetwork.com got an exclusive interview with Mulawin VS Ravena star Wyn Marquez to find out what she's been up to aside from her telefantasya.

When she's not on set for Mulawin VS Ravena, Wyn trains with famed beauty queen maker, Jonas Gaffud.

According to her, "I'm being trained by Jonas Gaffud from Aces and Queens. I'm under their camp since before pa. Usually, I join their training not because I'm going to [compete] but I just really wanna learn more, boost up confidence, and it really helps sa work namin [from] how you walk, present yourself, and how to do your makeup. Nakikisaling-pusa ako doon minsan because I'm always hungry to learn."

Wyn was among the top 15 finalists when she competed in Binibining Piipinas 2015. Now that a few years have passed, does she have any plans of competing again?

"I'm not closing any doors kasi siyempre I still dream of winning a crown. Sabi ko nga, 'I don't want to regret anything' so if I decide to join again, it's because I can't sleep at night because of imagining that. Pero siyempre, if it's not given to you when you join a second time... Pinag-iisipan ko pa kung sasali ako or hindi so maybe there's just gonna be a surprise if mag submit ako ng application."

Still, she admits to feeling even more pressured if she joins Binibining Pilipinas for the second time.

"Actually [may] pressure when I joined in 2015, in fairness naman, hindi ko naman napahiya 'yung sarili ko. Thank God I answered something substantial din. When I join again, I think that people will expect so much, doon ako natatakot. Iba naman 'yung before and iba rin 'yung ngayon so whatever performance I give, I hope they appreciate it. I'll still give my 100%," said Wyn.
