Abigail Marquez (Tagalog pronunciation: [maɾˈkes]; born June 16, 2000) is a Filipino social media personality, vlogger and celebrity chef. Dubbed as the "Lumpia Queen",[1] she is widely recognized for her cooking content on TikTok and YouTube. She was included in the 9th edition of Forbes Asia's "30 Under 30 Asia" list, a global business publication.[2]
Early life and education
[edit]Abigail Marquez was born in Santa Rosa, Laguna on June 16, 2000. She developed an interest in cooking at a young age, often preparing meals for herself when home alone, stating that she was never afraid to experiment in the kitchen. While growing up, selling food became a regular activity for her as she sold cookies and brownies that she learned to bake by following online recipes. Marquez credits her entrepreneurial spirit to her father, who ran a construction materials business, but claims her motivation for selling food stems more from her passion for cooking rather than from financial gain.[3]
In 2022, she finished her bachelor's degree in Hotel, Restaurant and Institution Management (HRIM) at the University of the Philippines Diliman, graduating magna cum laude.[3]

On October 18, 2023, she appeared as a guest on the Philippine television news and talk show Unang Hirit where she shared her skills in cooking.[8]

She was named the People's Voice Winner in the Food & Drinks category at the 28th Annual Webby Awards and was awarded Foodie Creator of the Year at the TikTok Awards in 2023.[9][10] In 2024, she received a bronze award for Best Campaign by a Mega Influencer at the Hashtag Asia Awards.[11]
