I am into healthy eating and fitness regimen in the past two months hoping that I'll be at par with these 24 finalists vying to become Century Tuna's next image models. The Valkyrie Nightclub was filled with excitement, anticipation, and exhilirating energy as Century Tuna presented its lineup of finalists for the much-awaited Century Tuna Superbods Nation 2016, the biggest, hottest and most fabulous summer event in the country.
From hundreds of fit, sexy, and pumped up men and women who joined the go-sees all over the country, 24 finalists were chosen in a series of intense screenings and callbacks. This year's batch of hopefuls all showed amazing potential that the competition presented 12 local pairs of finalists instead of the initially planned nine.
