Fitness is no longer defined by sculpted abs or perfectly toned physiques alone. In 2026, Century Tuna Superbods celebrates its 20th anniversary by introducing a bold new chapter—the “Superbod Era,” a movement that embraces strength, resilience, purpose, and holistic wellness.
During the highly anticipated Final Callback held at Novotel Manila Araneta City, the country’s premier fitness competition revealed its official finalists, marking the beginning of a new generation of Superbods who embody not only physical excellence but also inspiring personal journeys.
Hosted by 2018 Century Tuna Superbods Grand Winner Maureen Montagne and radio personality KC Montero, the event showcased that today’s Superbods are defined by much more than appearances. Contestants took center stage to share stories of perseverance, transformation, and unwavering commitment to healthier living, proving that wellness extends far beyond the gym.
A New Definition of a Superbod
The 2026 edition signals a significant evolution for the competition. While physical fitness remains an important aspect, Century Tuna now celebrates individuals whose healthy lifestyles reflect mental toughness, discipline, confidence, and a genuine passion for self-improvement.
This year’s diverse roster of contestants perfectly represents that vision.
Returning aspirants who have pursued the title for years stood proudly beside first-time hopefuls determined to make their mark. The Callback also featured inspiring Supermoms balancing careers, motherhood, and fitness; hands-on Superdads redefining active parenting; and families embracing wellness together, including a father-and-daughter tandem and a remarkable mother competing alongside her two sons.
Breaking even more barriers, the competition welcomed transgender men for the first time, alongside inspiring “ageless” contenders proving that fitness has no expiration date. Celebrity personalities, professional models, and fitness coaches also joined the lineup, each bringing unique stories of perseverance and purpose.
Together, they demonstrated that the Superbod lifestyle is inclusive and attainable for everyone.
Inspiring Filipinos to Live Healthier
“Every edition, the Superbods competition evolves, but our core mission remains unchanged—to inspire Filipinos to unlock the healthiest, most vibrant versions of themselves,” said Carlo Endaya, Vice President, General Manager, and Group Business Head of Century Pacific Food Inc.
He added that the new Superbod Era celebrates health as a stage in life where passion, dedication, and holistic wellness come together—qualities that were evident throughout the Callback event.
