Abi Marquez is getting more and more fame around the world! Abi was just revealed as a double candidate at the renowned 45th Annual Telly Awards, one of the most prestigious awards in the world of video and television production, following her second Webby nomination. For the Filipino content creator who has been making waves on the global scene, this is yet another significant milestone.
The nominations honor Abi’s originality, genuineness, and dedication to promoting Filipino food internationally. What could be more thrilling? Since both nominees fall under the People’s Telly Awards, the winners will be chosen by public vote.
Founded in 1979, the Telly Awards honor excellence in video and television across all screens—whether it’s broadcast TV, digital, or social media. Over the years, they’ve become one of the most recognized platforms for creators, producers, and media companies around the world.
Today, the Tellys receive over 13,000 entries annually from all 50 U.S. states and 6 continents. Nominees and winners include a wide range of content—spanning branded campaigns, documentaries, immersive experiences, and digital-first series. Being nominated is no small feat—especially for an independent creator representing the Philippines on such a massive stage.
Here’s what Abi is nominated for:
Abi Marquez for People’s Telly Online Series, Shows & Segments Category
Abi is recognized for her overall work as a digital creator—think of it as a nod to the entire series of content she puts out. From quickfire recipes to deep dives into Filipino dishes, her videos strike the perfect balance between entertaining and educational. This nomination places her in the same category as Warner Bros. Discovery, Disney Experiences, and LANY Entertainment—huge names in global media.
What makes this even cooler is that Abi’s the only nominee in this list representing Filipino homegrown content on a global stage.
“Gordon Ramsay Doesn’t Like My Beef Wellington” for People’s Telly Social Video
In this viral video, Abi recreated the iconic Beef Wellington—one of Gordon Ramsay’s most famously difficult dishes—with a Filipino twist. But here’s the catch: she did it knowing full well Ramsay might not approve. The result? A video that’s equal parts hilarious, educational, and wildly entertaining.
The piece is nominated in the Social Video category, which honors outstanding short-form content designed for platforms like TikTok, Instagram, and YouTube. This entry is up against work from Netflix Queue, CeraVe, Al Jazeera Digital, and more—basically the heavy hitters of internet storytelling.
Abi’s goal has always been to promote Filipino cuisine internationally. She’s becoming closer with each nomination. This is our opportunity to support her and help her win.
