It was Valentine’s Day that’s why scribes asked her what her plans were. She was smiling and just answered, “I don’t have any plans today. Wala akong plano for Valentine’s this year.”

“Why? Have you broken up with Mark Herras?” was the unassertive question of the program host who felt puzzled, too.

 “How will I answer this? We’re okay, we’re busy and I think we’re doing our own thing. He has his own thing. I have my own thing,” she started.

“Yeah, I’m single right now. We have already parted ways. It was a mutual decision,” she continued.

She clarified there was no third party involved and that they’re actually still talking.

Meanwhile, Winwyn is still in disbelief now that she is a leading-lady material.

After co-starring with Vhong Navarro in the 2018 comedy movie Unli Life, the 26-year-old actress is top-billing the post-Valentine movie Time and Again, produced by Regal Entertainment, Inc.

Teresita Ssen "Winwyn" Marquez stars in 'Time & Again,' her first leading role after being in showbiz for more than a decade now.

Winwyn considers Time and Again as her launching movie because the story revolves around her character, Apple.

“I never thought I’d watch myself on the big screen. I never thought that I would be given this kind of opportunity,” she explained.

Though she has been active in the business for almost a decade now, it is only now that Winwyn is getting her big breaks. Admittedly, the big part of her ongoing showbiz success is because of winning an international crown.

In 2015, Winwyn became the first-ever Filipina to join the Reina Hispanoamericana beauty pageant, which has been dominated by Latina representatives since it started 27 years ago.  

Winwyn made history when she took home the crown.

“My life started changing after my win. After that, parang one dream to another, na sabay-sabay: movies, and then pageants, and then my advocacy program.”

In the movie, Winwyn gets to work with a long-time friend Enzo Pineda. The actress said that she and Enzo go way, way back.

In the movie, Winwyn plays the role of Apple, a writer and diner waitress who falls for a customer, Ozzi (Enzo Pineda) who already has a girlfriend.

When Enzo joined StarStruck, the reality-based artista search on GMA-7, it was also the same time that Winwyn entered showbiz.

“I’ve known Enzo for nine years, since I started showbiz. Sabay kaming nag-showbiz,” she explained.

As for working with Enzo, Winwyn said that it’s so much easier to act when she’s with someone she’s comfortable with.

“It’s such a smooth sailing shooting. I hope the audience would see the chemistry, kasi kami ni Enzo naramdaman namin,” she said.

For the director of the film, Joey Reyes, it was a pleasure working with Enzo and Winwyn whom he admires for being intelligent actors. 

“Like Bea Alonzo and John Lloyd Cruz, they made good movies together. But they are not meddling with each other’s personal lives together, right? I think, it’s the ‘combination’ that brings people to cinemas. Do I believe in love team? Yes, but there are instances that the lead actors don’t need to be in a love team for the film to work. The audience must see them as actors playing roles. And they are two of the most intelligent actors we have today,” Reyes affirmed.

Time and Again unspools in cinemas today. For more updates, follow Regal Entertainment Inc on Facebook and Youtube, @RegalFilms on Twitter, @RegalFilms50 on Instagram.
