Natapos na at nag-top si Winwyn Marquez sa kaniyang grupo para sa marine reservist training sa ilalim ng Philippine Naval Reserve Command. Si Winwyn, proud na hindi siya itinuring na isang aktres o beauty queen kundi isang kadete at kapatid ng kaniyang mga kasamahan.
Sa kaniyang Instagram, ibinahagi ni Winwyn na nag-"YES" pa rin siya na tumuloy sa kaniyang training sa kabila ng COVID-19 pandemic.
"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."
Ayon sa aktres, naaayon ang kaniyang achievement sa layunin niya na hikayatin at patatagin ang mga kapwa niya Pinay.
Masaya rin siya na hindi siya itinuring na isang artista o beauty queen, kundi kapwa kasamahan ng kaniyang batchmates.
"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," saad niya.
"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," patuloy pa ni Wyn.
Nagpasalamat si Winwyn sa kaniyang batch, pamilya at iba pang tao na may katulad niyang adhikain sa pagsuporta sa kaniya, at dahil na rin sa nagkaroon siya ng bagong "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," anang Kapuso actress.
"I am 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 I am not not here to impress you, I am here to make an impact - WE are here to make an Impact," dagdag pa niya.
Sa pagtatapos sa kaniyang training, sinabi niyang siya ang Batch Dakila Class President, Top 1 sa Class 01-2020 at Top 1 din sa Physical Fitness.
Ang ama naman niyang si Joey Marquez ang tumanggap ng kaniyang certificate.
