Abi Marquez Fulfills Her Mother’s Paris Dream While Receiving a Gold Stevie Award
Content creator Abi Marquez, known online as the “Lumpia Queen,” has a double reason to celebrate. She brought her mother to Paris, France, and had her by her side as she received a Gold Stevie at the International Business Awards.
Abi shared the milestone on Instagram, as reported by ABS-CBN Entertainment. “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 wrote.
Based on the official list of social media category winners of the 23rd International Business Awards, Abi won the Gold Stevie for Short-Form Video Creator of the Year. The nomination was entered by Xclamation General Consultancy, OPC, based in Taguig. The organizers said the winners were chosen from the average scores of more than 300 professionals over two months of judging, and the awards event was held at the Pullman Paris Montparnasse.
In her post, Abi said the recognition meant a lot because many people still look down on content creation. She noted that some think it is just “pavlog vlog lang,” but stressed that there are real people, real work and real businesses behind the content. She also thanked her team for the effort they put into everything they create.
Her followers were quick to send their congratulations. “2026 is your year!” one fan commented, according to the same report.
This is not Abi’s first Stevie. In 2025, she received the Gold Stevie for Most Innovative Content Creator of the Year at the same awards, becoming the first winner of what was then a new category, as reported by ABS-CBN. She became popular online through her cooking videos, especially her creative takes on lumpia.
Despite the awards, Abi has said in an interview with PUSH that she still wants to learn more, especially about Filipino cuisine. “It feels like something that the more I learn about it, the less I know,” she shared.
For Abi, the trip to Paris was more than an award night. It was a chance to share a dream come true with her mother.
