Si Jomelle Joegy Marquez, 15, bunsong anak ng aktor na si Joey Marquez, ay isa nang beauty queen.

Kinoronahan si Jomelle bilang Miss Teen Global Philippines noong March 7, 2025.

Siya ang representative ng Pilipinas sa Miss Teen Global pageant sa Rio de Janeiro sa Brazil sa Setyembre.

Si Jomelle ay anak ni Joey sa dating longtime non-showbiz partner.

Marami sa pamilya ni Joey ang beauty queens.

Ang kapatid ni Joey na si Melanie Marquez ay Miss International 1979.

Ang anak ni Melanie na si Michelle Dee ay Miss Universe Philippines 2023.

Si Winwyn Marquez, anak ni Joey sa ex-wife na si Alma Moreno, ay Reina Hispanoamericana 2017.

Ang mismong ina ni Jomelle ay may karanasan din sa beauty pageants.

Hindi na pinabanggit ni Jomelle ang pangalan ng ina bilang respeto raw sa pagiging non-showbiz nito.

“There’s countless of beauty queens who inspire me, especially my sister [Winwyn] and my mom’s side in the family because she used to be a beauty queen,” lahad ni Jomelle.

Tukoy niya sa ina, “She was Miss Pasay City before, like in her college days and she inspired me a lot, actually.

“I look up to my family a lot, especially my mom.”

Nakausap ng PEP.ph (Philippine Entertainment Portal) si Jomelle sa official crowning and sashing ceremony ng Miss Teen Global Beauty Queen Philippines 2025 noong March 27.

Ginanap ang event sa B Hotel sa Muntinlupa City, sa pamumuno ni Charlotte Dianco, national director ng pageant at pinuno ng Spring Fairy Entertainment Productions.

JOMELLE MARQUEZ ON JOEY MARQUEZ AS A FATHER

Dati nang naiulat ang tungkol sa relasyon ng ina ni Jomelle kay Joey.

May dalawa pang anak si Joey sa ina ni Jomelle, at si Jomelle ang pinakabunso.

Si Jomelle rin ang pinakabunso sa 16 na anak ni Joey sa iba-ibang babae.

Kuwento ni Jomelle, lumaki siyang malapit sa ama.

“Very close. Super. He’s great. He’s amazing,” paglalarawan niya kay Joey.

Nagpaalam si Jomelle kay Joey tungkol sa pagsali niya sa Miss Global Teen Philippines 2025.

“Well, he was supportive on what I do. But he was concerned, at first, because of my education.

“But then again, he’s supportive on what I do and what it’ll do for my experience.”

Naalala pa ni Jomelle ang isang insidente noong bata pa siya na naiugnay niya sa tinatahak niya ngayong landas bilang beauty queen.

“He’s done so much for me. I remember I was begging my dad to buy me a tiara, because my tiara broke before when I was a baby.

“But, like, it broke. It was like a plastic from a Dollar Tree, like from a store. And I remember my dad, he bought me a lot.”

Noong bata pa si Jomelle ay naisasama siya ni Joey sa tapings at shootings nito.

“When I was a baby, from what I know, I met Liza Soberano when I was… sa Forevermore, I love that show,” tukoy ni Jomelle sa prime-time teleserye ng ABS-CBN na umere noong 2014-2015.

Nakagisnan ni Jomelle na kilala ang kanyang ama bilang mahusay at sikat na komedyante.

“Yeah, I heard about stories. He’s also, he likes to make jokes.”

Ilan sa mga napanood niyang proyeto ni Joey ay ang Pamilya Ko at Girl, Boy, Bakla, Tomboy.

Joey Marquez is open about spending quality time with Jomelle and her siblings in his IG feed.

NOT ALLOWED TO ENTERTAIN SUITORS

Pinayuhan daw siya ni Joey na mag-enjoy muna sa buhay bago atupagin ang pag-ibig.

“To take things slow, not to rush everything and to have your own boundaries.

“He taught me a lot, actually.

“But that’s the one of the things that resonates with me, to have my own boundaries and to take things slow.”

May bilin ba sa kanya si Joey pagdating sa boys?

“Don’t talk to them,” natatawang bulalas ni Jomelle.

Hindi pa raw siya pinapayagang mag-entertain ng manliligaw.

Diin ni Jomelle, “No, probably after college, but now, no.”

Kahit na aminadong strikto ang ama, siya man ay hindi pa rin naman daw gustong makipagrelasyon.

Sabay paliwanag niya, “No, it’s just that, as friends, maybe. But I’m not into dating. As of right now, no. I don’t want to focus yet on that.”

Marami pa raw gustong pagkaabalahan si Jomelle.

“Well, I have a lot of passion. Like arts, I like drawing a lot and singing. But this is just, like, I just discovered this,” tukoy niya sa pagsali sa beauty pageant.

JOMELLE MARQUEZ ON BEING A BEAUTY QUEEN

Batang paslit pa lamang siya ay gusto na niyang maging beauty queen?

Sagot ni Jomelle, “Well, I never realized I wanted to be a beauty queen until I started experiencing pageants.

“Because growing up, I always liked fashion and, like, modeling. But until ever since I started this, I’ve grown to like it.”

Malapit daw si Jomelle sa kapatid si Winwyn.

Ani Jomelle, “Yes, but we don’t really get to see each other often due to she’s busy right now. But we do see each other in family gatherings.”

Alam raw ni Winwyn na kandidata si Joemelle ng Pilipinas sa Miss Teen Global beauty pageant.

Hindi pa raw siya nabibigyan ni Winwyn ng tips dahil abala rin si Winwyn ngayon sa upcoming Miss Universe Philippines 2025.

“But she wants to teach me,” nakangiting sabi ni Jomelle.

Masaya raw siya sa muling pagsali ni Winwyn sa Miss Universe Philippines 2025.

“Oh, I’m proud of her. You know, her journey, she inspires me,” dagdag niya.

Nakausap na ba niya ang tiyahing si Melanie?

Sagot ni Jomelle, “Oh, I’ve never met her personally before, but I heard about her from my dad and from my family.”
