Abi Marquez, popularly known as the “Lumpia Queen,” recently celebrated a special milestone as she fulfilled her mother’s lifelong dream of visiting Paris, France.

In an Instagram post, Abi shared her excitement about bringing her mother to the city and having her by her side as she received a Gold Stevie Award at the International Business Awards.

“Merci, stevies! 🇫🇷🏆 This one’s for the books!!!! Got to bring my mom to Paris, a place she’s dreamed of visiting since she was little, AND share the red carpet with her as I received a Gold Stevie at the International Business Awards 🥹🥹,” she posted on her Instagram page.

Abi went on to reflect on the significance of receiving international recognition, emphasizing the hard work and dedication behind content creation as a profession.

“And to be recognized alongside businesses from around the world means a lot, especially in an industry where people still think it’s ‘pavlog vlog lang.’ Behind the content are real people, real work, and real businesses. Building businesses out of creativity, making a living doing what we love, and creating opportunities for others along the way,” she highlighted.

The content creator also expressed her pride in being part of the growing industry and acknowledged the contributions of her team to her success.

“So proud to be part of this growing industry, and an even bigger shoutout to my incredible team who puts so much into everything we create,” she stated.

Fans online were quick to react to Abi’s post.

“2026 is your year!” one fan wrote.

“Congratulations. Ayan para sa iyong hard work and dedication,” another fan commented.

In a recent interview with PUSH ABS-CBN, despite her achievements in recent years, Abi believes she still has a lot to learn and more goals to pursue in her career.

The content creator expressed her desire to deepen her understanding of Filipino cuisine, particularly the dishes and stories that reflect the country’s rich culinary heritage.

“I really want to learn more. I admittedly want to learn more about Filipino cuisine, it feels like something that the more I learn about it, the less I know. I also want to thank people and right now there’s a lot of good things and creators coming up and I’m so happy because I feel like mas maraming kami mga proud to share and make content meaningful content about our culture,” she said.
