The Philippines' very own Lumpia Queen is adding another international recognition to her name!
On Facebook, Abi Marquez proudly shared that she won the Best Food Blogger award at the World Influencers and Bloggers Awards (WIBA) 2025 in Cannes, France.
"OMG guys nanalo ako," the food content creator wrote as a caption of her selfie holding her WIBA trophy.
Earlier, Abi shared her outfit for the awards night: a custom red Filipiniana by Jo Rubio inspired by Pinoy spaghetti.
Her fully realized look features details true to the inspiration, including spaghetti-inspired nail art, a pasta box as a bag, and a "Kain Tayo" embossed in the gown train.
"Bringing the heart of Filipino creativity and food to a global stage!" she said.
The WIBA ceremony is held annually during the Cannes Film Festival and recognizes top influencers and bloggers from around the globe across multiple industries, including fashion, travel, lifestyle, and food.
Earlier in May, Abi was nominated for the first time at the 17th Shorty Awards in the TikTok Presence category.
Abi's Shorty Awards nomination followed the two nods she received from the 2025 Webby Awards last April, where she was up for two honors: The Webby Award, selected by the International Academy of Digital Arts and Sciences (IADAS), and the Webby People's Voice Award, won by public voting.
In 2024, Abi was nominated for the prestigious James Beard 2024 Media Awards' social media account category and was among the seven Filipinos in the Forbes 30 under 30 Class of 2024.
Congratulations, Lumpia Queen!
