Century Tuna welcomes back Mt. Everest summiteer Jeno Panganiban

Century Tuna officially celebrates the return of mountaineer and Superbod athlete Jeno Panganiban to the Philippines after successfully reaching the top of Mount Everest, the world’s highest summit.

Through a couple of months of relentlessly climbing the unforgiving terrain and enduring the frigid climate of Mount Everest, Jeno has etched his name in Philippine history as the youngest male Filipino who has reached its summit in almost two decades, inspiring a new generation of Filipinos to embrace the challenge of facing their own summit with strength and proper nutrition.

Century Tuna honors his monumental achievement and welcomes Jeno home, shining a spotlight on his triumphant ascent. He embodies strength, endurance, and resilience in his pursuit to reach the summit of the world. 

“When we were approaching the summit, I approached it with pride because by that time, we knew that the whole nation was watching us. And I felt emotional because I was able to carry the Philippine flag to the top of the world,” Jeno shared as he recounted the once-in-a-lifetime experience. 

Jeno’s summit to the world’s peak is a testament to years of hard work and dedication to fueling his passion for mountaineering and optimizing his lifestyle. He transitioned from a former software engineer, working a 9-to-5 job, to owning a distribution business, supplying healthy produce to restaurants across Metro Manila, which has given him the flexibility to control his own time. 

When he set his sights to finally achieving his long-time dream of conquering Mount Everest, Jeno knew that it required singular focus and relentless drive. It wasn’t only about rallying together all his previous mountaineering experiences. It was also about actively choosing to go through extreme preparation and intentionally nourishing his body with the right nutrition that can push him to become one of the Philippines’ national prides.

From high altitude sickness, hazardous weather, to the looming threat of avalanches, Jeno persisted through the life-threatening challenges. He endured temperatures reaching below freezing, extreme sun exposure burning, and loss of oxygen as he was reaching the summit while pushing through exhaustion. 

“You have to be comfortable in being uncomfortable,” says Jeno. “So every day, we made sure that our bodies were in the right condition. I made sure my body and mind were ready for the push.”

With Century Tuna as his partner, Jeno was able to bring his A game to his climb. His remarkable resilience to climb to an elevation of 8,849 meters is nourished by his favorite Century Tuna meal, the classic combination of Century Tuna Hot and Spicy with saltine crackers, a comfort food that’s easy to prepare but packed with protein to keep him energized throughout his arduous training and long ascent.

His journey perfectly embodies Century Tuna’s “Fit for Any Role” campaign, highlighting the brand’s celebration of the multi-faceted image of fitness and its part in helping individuals face any role. 

“Century Tuna is proud and honored to support Jeno’s journey because he is a living testament that anyone can face their own summit. He has shown us that through properly nourishing the body and building up strength, everyone can go after their dreams — a pursuit that Century Tuna has always championed. He is an inspiration, not just to his fellow athletes, but to all of us who take on life’s challenges every day,” said Century Pacific Food, Inc. Executive Vice President and Chief Operating Officer, Mr. Greg Banzon.

Century Tuna challenges every Filipino to define their own summit. Whether they want to achieve a fitness milestone, a personal goal, or a monumental accomplishment, being fit with Century Tuna means being ready to take on the challenge.

Century Tuna's "Saving Our Seas" Embraces the Plastic Circular Economy: A Sustainable Approach to Ocean Health

Representatives and volunteers from Century Pacific Food Inc. (CPFI), Century Tuna Superbods 2024 finalists, HOPE, and the Local Government of Mabini, Batangas, gathered for the “Saving Our Seas” International Coastal Cleanup Day activity on the coast of Anilao in Batangas.

After its successful run in 2023, Century Tuna, the country’s no.1 tuna brand, continues to lead the charge in marine conservation in the Philippines, further solidifying its commitment to fighting plastic pollution with the 2nd year of its “Saving Our Seas” campaign. 

This 2024, Century Tuna expanded its efforts by leading education drives on the Plastic Circular Economy and responsible plastic waste management, spearheaded initiatives to restore and protect vital coastal areas, and actively engaging with local communities across the country.

Mr. Carlo Endaya, Vice President and General Manager of the Branded Tuna Division, Century Pacific Food Inc., talked about the second year of the “Saving Our Seas” Initiative

“With the second year of the ‘Saving Our Seas’ campaign, Century Tuna is reiterating its commitment to taking proactive steps in protecting our marine environments,” said Mr. Carlo Endaya, Vice President and General Manager of Branded Tuna Division, Century Pacific Food Inc. (CPFI). “That’s why we’re doing this—aside from cleaning the ocean, we want to continue spreading the word and fostering the mindset that we must always work to prevent plastic pollution.”

Ms. Bea Ballesca-Martinez, Century Tuna Marketing Manager, helmed the Coastal Clean-up leg of Century Tuna “Saving Our Seas” in Mabini, Batangas.

In celebration of International Coastal Cleanup Day, Century Tuna initiated a school-based plastic recycling drive in several elementary schools in Mabini, Batangas. In partnership with HOPE’s Aling Tindera Waste-to-Cash program, elementary students were encouraged to collect plastic waste, exchange it for cash, and learn more about the Plastic Circular Economy - where all plastics collected and recycled are diverted away from nature to ensure that it won’t leak back into the open environment.

Ms. Ilusion Farias, HOPE Managing Director shared the importance of teaching students about the Plastic Circular Economy at the Century Tuna “Saving Our Seas” School Plastic Drive

“The idea is to help everyone realize that by picking up that piece of plastic, you can not only earn a little extra money for your family but also contribute to solving this global problem and help clean up the Philippines and the world,” said Ms. Ilusion Farias, HOPE Managing Director.

Century Tuna Superbods 2024 finalists led by Century Tuna Superbods 2024 Runner-up Patrick Patawaran, participated in the Century Tuna 'Saving Our Seas' International Coastal Cleanup Day in Mabini, Batangas.

Following the initiative and coinciding with the International Coastal Cleanup Day, representatives from Century Tuna, together with finalists from Century Tuna Superbods 2024 led by Runner-up Patrick Patawaran, CPFI employees, and volunteer divers participated in a coastal and reef cleanup activity in Mabini, Batangas. They were able to collect a total of 357 kilograms of plastic waste from both the shoreline and underwater.

Volunteer divers participated in the Century Tuna ‘Saving Our Seas’ reef cleanup activity in Mabini, Batangas.

The award-winning Century Tuna’s “Saving Our Seas” campaign is a continuation of its bigger mission to aid in marine conservation. Last year, the campaign was able to surpass its initial target of collecting 10 metric tons of plastic waste and avoiding it getting leaked into our seas.

CPFI employees and the Local Government of San Juan, La Union collaborated for the Century Tuna “Saving Our Seas” Earth Day Palit-Plastic Project in San Juan, La Union.

Early this year, “Saving Our Seas” made notable progress with key events such as the Earth Day Palit Plastic Project in La Union and the Superbods Cleanup Drive in Subic Bay, Zambales. These efforts highlight Century Tuna’s dedication to the bigger cause of fighting plastic pollution and educate people on the idea of a Plastic Circular Economy.

Century Tuna Superbods finalists and CPFI executives spearheaded the Century Tuna 'Saving Our Seas' coastal cleanup in Subic Bay, Zambales.

Pia Wurtzbach is the new #QueenoftheCentury

Last July 17, Century Tuna the country's #1 tuna introduced its newest endorser for Century Tuna Lite. Held at the Rizal Ballroom in Makati Shangri-la the ever gorgeous TV host, model, and Miss Universe 2015 Pia Wurtzbach joins Century Tuna's outstanding roster of endorsers, as she appears in an all-new TVC that's oozing with sexiness and elegance!

Pia first got bitten by the acting bug at the tender age of four, which later led her to join the Star Circle Batch 11, appearing in a string of television shows and movies. But her real break came when, in her third (3rd) attempt, she entered the Binibining Pilipinas Pageant in 2015, the stepping stone to her most glorious achievement thus far: bagging the highly coveted Miss Universe 2015 crown- following in the heels of Gloria Diaz in 1969 and Margie Moran in 1973 - in what was a most contentious competition.

Greg Banzon, Century Pacific Foods, Inc. General Manager

"We're thrilled to have Pia Wurtzbach in the Century Tuna family," beams Greg Banzon, Century Pacific Foods, Inc. General Manager. "Pia is indeed 'The Queen of the Century', the epitome of a multi- faceted woman who excels in a variety of fields while staying fit and sexy."

Together with, of course, her ravishing looks---her poise, style, and grace—her talents and intelligence, it is Pia's commitment to self-discipline and physical fitness — just look at her lean and Ultimate Superbody! — that brought her into the Century Tuna fold.

In fact, with a help of a personal trainer, Pia heads to the gym regularly, where she engages in a combination of planking (the best exercise for a flat, toned stomach), tricep pull-downs (for well-defined arms as well as shapely biceps and triceps), as well as squats and lunges (for firm and strong looking legs).

Naturally, a healthy, balanced, yet satisfying diet comes hand in hand with her exercise routine. And for this, there's nothing else but Century Tuna — the 100% winner in tuna — of which Pia has been a long time fan. "I have a busy schedule and always on the go so when I do have the time to grocery shop or prepare a meal, I make it a priority," relates Pia, who, unbeknownst to many, studied culinary arts. "I like to enjoy food that keeps my energy levels stable, like Century Tuna."

Because of Century Tuna's versatility, where it can be used in a myriad of yummy and nutritious dishes, Pia need not deprive herself while becoming the ultimate superbod. After all, Century Tuna is made of 100% real tuna, rich in Omega 3 DHA, which helps you achieve a healthy and 100% winner superbody, just like hers!

"I've always been a Century Tuna girl! And this body you see is made possible by Century," Pia continues.

No doubt, Pia Wurtzbach has become an inspiration to many and a true role model, the perfect embodiment of Century Tuna's winning ways and her role as the new Queen of the Century! Hail to the Queen!

Meet the Yummy Bodies ng Century and their recipe to sexy with Century Tuna

#YummyBodiesNgCentury : Matteo, Gerald, Paulo

Last April 19, 2017 recorded the hottest day inside the Rizal Ballroom of Shangri-la hotel in Makati as the country's number 1 tuna, Century Tuna presented three (3) "My Recipe to Sexy" dishes from three of the fittest and sexiest actors today. Each one with his own distinct handsome looks, unique talents, and personalities.

We all know Century Tuna as the choice of health and fitness buffs, but it is also the favorite of many foodies out there as it's a great, delicious addition to any dish. Aaand my personal fave,too! I love the Hot and Spicy. Yum! 

Century Tuna introduced three of the most popular male actors and their favorite, easy-to-prepare and oh-so delicious Century Tuna recipes.

"Like Gerald, Matteo and Paulo, Century Tuna is very versatile," shared Greg Banzon, Century Pacific Food,Inc. VP & General Manager. "You can use it in different dishes, allowing you to be  creative in creating your own recipe to sexy!"

Da yum! :-)

First, there's Gerald Anderson. After becoming the Third Big placer in the first season of Pinoy Big Brother : Teen Edition in 2006, and after a string of television appearances, movie roles, and as part of a popular love team, Gerald proved his acting worth in the gritty, acclaimed film On The Job.

Next, there's Paulo Avelino. Considered in the industry as "The Prince of Teleseryes" , Paulo has starred in a number of outstanding indie movie releases, among them Sayaw ng Dalawang Kaliwang Paa which earned for him the Best Actor nod from the prestigious Gawad Urian.

And then of course there's Matteo Guidicelli. Following a decorated stint in the fast lane as a karting racer garnering numerous trophies, Matteo entered showbiz in earnest, attending drama and performing arts school in the United States to further hone his craft. On top of that, he also released his first self-titled album in 2016.

So what brings these 3 fit and sexy gentlemen together this scorching summer, you ask? They're the latest faces- and hot bods- in the Century Tuna's newest summer TVC, one that spells fun and fitness by way of its "My Recipe to Sexy" campaign. For those who've not seen the ad which is now airing on primetime TV, it features the trio as "hot cooks" as they present their favorite recipes to a sexy, healthy bod.

Watch the BTS/ TV Ad.

Tuna Silog ala Gerald

 "Breakfast for me is very important. And I wanted a dish that's a healthier take on the typical Pinoy breakfast so I came up with this super delicious Tuna Silog," shares Gerald.

Tuna Egg Salad Sandwich ala Matteo

"I'm always on the go. I love having a lean sandwich because it's easy to prepare. Just like my Tuna Egg Salad Sandwich on wheat bread which is healthy yet very satisfying!" Matteo reveals.

Tuna Pansit Canton ala Paulo

"Tuna pansit canton is the ultimate, yummy comfort food-- something you can make in a jiffy!" Paulo declares.

In other words, as summer equals frolic and fun under the sun, it doesn't mean you have to deprive yourself just to stay fit and sexy. 

Thanks to Century Tuna, which is lean and adaptable, you can easily prepare and enjoy a myriad of irresistible meals.

So... this summer... what's your recipe to sexy?
