WORTH reading ang post ni Winwyn Marquez after niya matapos ang training bilang Marine Reservist.

Post ni Winwyn: “Last February, Ienlisted 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 Isaid YES.

During these difficult times, attending this Reservist Training (which Ireligiously 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. Iam also honored to be one of the small number of women, to join this training as it maches with my passion to encourage and empowerour Filipino women. The training was no easy feat as Iwas expected d to experience hardship just like everyone with no special treatment or privileges. Iwas seen not as ‘Winwyn’ the actress and beauty queen” but as Cadet Marquez- a fellow Filipina and sister to my batch mates.

Thanks to the support of my batch, family, and other like-minded people around me, Ihave completed the course with realizations Inever knew Iwould learn and also a new set of classmates-turned-family. Through this breakthrough, Iwill 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.

Iam sharing this personal moment with you all hoping it can be a motivation & inspiration not only to Filipino women but to all Filipinos to not be afraid of their weaknesses and to pursue their passions in life. Do know that Iam not here to impress you, Iam here to make an impact- WE are here to make an impact.

Congratulations BCMC & MOT 2020! Always remember to put your heart, mind and soul even in the smallest acts. This is just the beginning of our journey towards our goal.

Snappy Salute to all of you! Hooyah!”

Kahit Marine Reservist na siya, hindi pa rin iiwan ni Winwyn ang showbiz, and in fact, nagti-taping siya ng bagong series sa GMA-7, ang Owe My Love kasama sina Lovi Poe, Benjamin Alves, Ai-Ai delas Alas at mga magagaling na komedyante.
