Marquez recently represented the country at the Reina Hispanoamericana pageant in Bolivia and eventually won. De Leon, on the other hand, failed to make a top 15 finish in the Miss International pageant held in Japan.

De Leon however said that her Miss International journey was all worth it. She holds no regrets and is in fact grateful for having represented the country in the global stage.

Both beauty queens are daughters of well-known actors in the country. De Leon is the daughter of actors Sandy Andolong and Christopher De Leon, while Marquez is the daughter of Alma Moreno and Joey Marquez. JB
