Winwyn Marquez attends flag raising event as marine reservist
Winwyn Marquez donned her marine reservist uniform to attend a flag-raising event at Rizal Park in Manila on Monday.
Among the photos she shared in a carousel post on Instagram was one of herself standing in attention underneath a large Philippine flag.
Organized by non-profit organization, Salute to a Clean Flag, the event is a way to usher National History Month this August.
The event also honored Dr. Alfredo Bengzon’s legacy, a Ramon Magsaysay awardee and former Secretary of Health who established the National Milk Code to protect mothers and infants; the Generic Drug Law to make medicines more affordable; and led discussions with armed groups, among many others.
According to Winwyn, the event was also attended by “members of the Armed Forces of the Philippines, fellow reservists, health workers, doctors, nurses, educators, and other sectors.”
“Proud to wear my uniform again as part of the Philippine Marine Reserve and stand for something meaningful,” Winwyn said in her Instagram post.
“Because our flag is more than a symbol..it’s a promise to serve, remember, and stand united,” she added.
Winwyn completed marine reservist training under the Philippine Naval Reserve Command in 2020. She finished at the top of her class.
Winwyn is best known for being the first FIlipino to win the Reina Hispanoamericana title back in 2017. She was hailed second runner-up for Miss Universe Philippines 2025.
In May, she was a host-mate on “Unang Hirit.”
