MANILA — Century Tuna has named Austin Dizon and Vienne Luna as the Grand Winners of the 20th Century Tuna Superbods, chosen from a lineup of 40 finalists at a finals night held at Solaire Resort Quezon City on Sept. 11.
Mr. Dizon was recognized for his advocacy for accessible quality nutrition, while Ms. Luna represents Project H.E.R. — Health, Empowerment, and Resilience. Each Grand Winner took home P1 million. MJ Ordillano and Jas Paguio finished as Runners-Up, receiving P250,000 each.
Marking its 20th year, the competition "spotlighted authentic human stories, personal growth, and passion-driven advocacies — ranging from accessible nutrition to inclusive physical training and mental strength," according to a company release. The winning advocacies — accessible quality nutrition and Project H.E.R. — sit squarely within that range, tying the milestone edition's results directly to the themes the program set out to highlight.
Ahead of the main event, the contenders underwent comprehensive physical challenges, advocacy workshops, and community engagements designed to prepare them to serve as relatable motivators for the public — groundwork that preceded the selection of the four awardees from the field of 40.
"For 20 years, Century Tuna Superbods has stood as a national platform where health meets real purpose," said Carlo Endaya, vice-president, general manager, and group business head of Century Pacific Food, Inc. "Tonight, our finalists showed the entire country that stepping into your Superbod Era isn't just about physical fitness — it's about leading with heart, lifting up others through your causes, and inspiring everyday Filipinos to pursue their own goals."
Century Tuna Superbods is the long-running fitness search of Century Tuna, a leading canned-tuna brand in the Philippines and the flagship product of Century Pacific Food, Inc., one of the country's largest listed food manufacturers. Across two decades, the competition has grown into a national platform that pairs physical fitness with personal advocacies, in line with the brand's positioning around health and wellness. Attention now turns to how the new Grand Winners carry their advocacies — accessible quality nutrition and Project H.E.R. — through the Superbods platform in the program's next chapter.
