Wazzup Pilipinas!?
Filipino culinary content creator and "Lumpia Queen" Abi Marquez is once again making waves in the digital food scene with her second consecutive nomination for the prestigious Webby Awards in the Creators - Food & Drink category. Following her triumphant Webby People’s Voice Award win in 2024, this latest nod reaffirms her place as a global ambassador for Filipino cuisine and a powerhouse in the online food space.
A Rising Star in Digital Culinary Excellence
Abi Marquez has taken the internet by storm, seamlessly blending innovation and tradition in her mouthwatering culinary content. With a passion for storytelling through food, she has introduced Filipino dishes to the world in ways that are both visually captivating and deeply personal. From classic home-style recipes to inventive twists on traditional flavors, her creations have earned her a devoted following and a well-deserved spotlight on the global stage.
Her journey to international recognition reached a milestone last year when she secured the 2024 Webby People’s Voice Award—a testament to her unparalleled ability to engage and inspire her audience. Now, with another nomination under her belt, she is poised to make history once again.
Going Up Against the Giants
Abi’s 2025 nomination places her alongside some of the most influential names in the food content industry. Among her formidable competitors are:
Joshua Weissman – A viral sensation renowned for his meticulous approach to cooking and extensive social media presence.
Babish (Andrew Rea) – The mastermind behind the wildly popular "Binging with Babish" series, which recreates iconic meals from movies and television.
Olivia Tiedemann – A rising star known for her innovative and engaging food content.
While the competition is fierce, Abi’s unique ability to highlight Filipino cuisine with authenticity and charm gives her a powerful edge.
What It Means to Be a Webby Nominee
With over 13,000 entries submitted across various categories, securing a nomination for the Webby Awards is a monumental achievement. Dubbed the "Oscars of the Internet," the Webby Awards celebrate excellence in digital creativity, impact, and innovation.
Two major awards are up for grabs:
The Webby Award – Chosen by the International Academy of Digital Arts and Sciences (IADAS).
