Actress and beauty queen Winwyn Marquez set the record straight, saying she will not be returning to the pageant stage this year.

Addressing speculation about a possible comeback, Marquez dismissed talk of joining Miss Grand All Stars, at least for now.

“No, I’m not joining Miss Grand All Stars. No, not this year,” she said.

Still, Marquez made it clear that she is not closing any doors in the future.

“Never say die, because I cannot close any doors. We’ll never know what’s going to happen next. So they should just wait and see what will unfold,” she added.

For now, Marquez said she is taking a pause rather than bidding goodbye, leaving fans to watch and wait for what she chooses to do next.
