Actress Winwyn Marquez achieved a first runner-up finish in the 2025 Miss Universe Philippines pageant, marking her final participation in pageantry.

She expressed gratitude for her family's support, noting her daughter was present during the coronation.

The Miss Universe Philippines crown was ultimately won by Ahtisa Manalo.
