Winwyn Marquez gets emotional while decorating Christmas tree as she remembers daughter

Winwyn Marquez became emotional while decorating the Christmas tree inside the “Pinoy Big Brother: Collab Edition 3.0” house as she remembered her daughter, Luna.

In "PBB's" latest episode, the housemates were tasked with decorating their Christmas tree when Winwyn became teary-eyed, prompting fellow housemate Primo to approach and comfort her.

Winwyn shared that putting up the Christmas tree is an annual tradition she enjoys with her daughter.

“That’s what my daughter and I do every year,” she said in Filipino. “She’s the one who hangs the decorations while singing Christmas songs as we decorate the tree.”

In the confession room, Winwyn opened up about how much the tradition means to her, revealing that she has made sure to include Luna in the activity for three consecutive years, even when she was still a baby.

“She’s the one who puts the star on top of the tree,” she said.

The actress also admitted feeling selfish for being away from her daughter during the holiday season.

“I kinda feel selfish being here. We don't have grand Christmas celebrations. I just want everybody to be complete. That's the spirit of Christmas, having the family together,” she said in Filipino and English.

Winwyn also revealed that it had been more than two weeks since she last saw Luna.

“Kuya, it's been more than two weeks since I last saw my daughter. That's why I pray and imagine her at night. I don't want my daughter outside to forget me,” she said.

Previously, the Kapuso star opened up about being away from her daughter as she entered Bahay ni Kuya.

According to Winwyn, she had told Luna about her plans to enter "PBB" even before the auditions.

Winwyn and her non-showbiz fiancé welcomed Luna in 2022.

Since then, Winwyn has often shared adorable videos of her daughter on social media.

“Pinoy Big Brother: Collab Edition 3.0” premiered on Saturday, Oct. 24. The latest edition features celebrities, content creators and regular citizens.
