Filipina actress and beauty queen Teresita "Winwyn" Marquez, who won the pageant last year, turned over her crown to the Venezuelan beauty.

“Maraming Salamat po sa lahat ng nag tiwala at sa lahat ng sumporta saakin,” Marquez said in an Instagram post before turning over the crown.

The Philippines joined the pageant for the first time last year, making Marquez the first Filipina to win the title.

Although Alyssa failed to make a back-to-back win for the Philippines, she made headlines for her Philippine-flag-inspired gowns designed by Benj Leguiab IV.
