Winwyn Marquez thanked her cousin Michelle Dee for supporting her throughout her Miss Universe Philippines 2025 journey.

On Instagram, the Reina Hispanoamericana 2017 penned a message of gratitude to everyone who helped her as she competed on the pageant stage one last time.

Michelle was one of the people who got a special shoutout. The Miss Universe Philippines 2023 served as the creative director for some of Winwyn's shoots ahead of the pageant.

"To Michelle... thank you for all the advice and encouraging words you've given me. The beautiful content you created made it possible for this to become a treasured core memory. I'll forever be grateful for how you helped me remember this moment so vividly," Winwyn said.

Winwyn also thanked her family—her partner and her daughter Luna, who were both beside her as she pursued her dreams anew.

"To my family... my everything, my strength... you are my reason. You are the love that grounds me and guides me. I carry you with me in every challenge and every step," she said.

Winwyn finished her Miss Universe Philippines 2025 journey as the first runner-up. Ahtisa Manalo won the crown.
