PINATUNAYAN ng beauty queen-actress na si Winwyn Marquez na hindi lang siya basta artista at TV host.
Matapos ang ilang buwang buwis-buhay training ay isa na ngayong Marine Reservist under the Philippine Naval Reserve Command ang dalaga. At siya pa ang nag-number one sa kanilang klase.
Nagsimula ang military training ng dalaga last August kung saan sumailalim nga siya sa Basic Citizen’s Military training (BCMT) under the Philippine Navy.
Sa kanyang Instagram page, ibinandera nga ni Winwyn na matagumpay niyang natapos ang kanyang kurso sa kabila ng matinding hirap at pagsasakripisyo.
“Last February, I enlisted 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 I said YES.
“During these difficult times, attending this Reservist Training (which I religiously 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,” ang caption niya sa mga litratong ipinost niya sa IG na kuha sa loob ng isang military camp.
Mensahe pa ng anak nina Alma Moreno at Joey Marquez, “I am also honored to be one of the small number of women to join this training as it matches with my passion to encourage and empower our Filipino women.
“The training was no easy feat as I was expected to experience hardship just like everyone with no special treatment or privileges. I was seen not as ‘Winwyn the actress and beauty queen’ but as Cadet Marquez – a fellow Filipina and sister to my batch mates,” proud pang chika ng dalaga.
Dagdag pa niyang pahayag, “Thanks to the support of my batch, family, and other like-minded people around me, I have completed the course with realizations I never knew I would learn and also a new set of classmates-turned-family.
“Through this breakthrough, I will 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,” aniya pa.
Bukod sa pagiging presidente ng kanilang batch, nagtapos din si Winwyn bilang top student bukod pa sa pagiging number one sa physical fitness rankings.
