We Have the Best President in the World, Winwyn Marquez Tells Bolivia

Teresita Ssen "Winwyn" Marquez made history on Saturday, November 4 (Sunday, November 5 in Manila), when she was crowned as the first Asian and Filipina Reina Hispanoamericana in Sta Cruz, Bolivia.


The Filipina beauty queen made another history when she told TV Boliviana that President Rodrigo Duterte is the best president in the world.

On Sunday, a day after winning the crown, Marquez was invited by TV Boliviana for an interview. The host, Edgar Martinez asked Marquez about the ongoing drug problem in the Philippines, and the actress’ answer silenced Martinez.

The following is part of the interview transcript.

Edgar Martinez: ¿Qué puedes decir sobre el problema de las drogas en tu país? (What can you say about the drug problem in your country?)
Winwyn Marquez:  Bueno, puedo decir que nuestra policía lo está haciendo bien en la lucha contra las drogas ilegales y tengo mucha confianza en nuestro gobierno. (Well, I can say that our police is doing great in fighting illegal drugs and I have a lot of trust in our government.)
Edgar Martinez:  Su presidente, Rodrigo Duterte es una figura popular aquí en América del Sur, ¿qué piensa de él como su presidente? Your president, Rodrigo Duterte is a popular figure here in South America, what do you think about him as your president?
Winwyn Marquez: El presidente Duterte es el mejor presidente de Filipinas y, para mí, es el mejor presidente del mundo. Solo puedo decir cosas buenas de él y él cuenta con el apoyo del 90% de la población filipina. (President Duterte is the Philippine's best president, and for me, he is the best president in the world. I can only say good things about him and he has the support of 90% of the Filipino people.)

Martinez was stunned for a while and changed his topic back to pageant.
Marquez is the first ever Asian to win Reina Hispanoamericana, and the Philippine’s first ever contestant.

Together with Karen Ibasco who won Miss Earth on Friday, Marquez will be honored with a heroes’ welcome upon their return this week. /Lanie Valdez/
