Last Wednesday night at Valkyrie in BGC, the finalists of Century Superbod Nat10n were presented to the Press in a launch that underscored the new channels that the organizers are aiming to maximize with the 10th year search. Instead of holding most of the important events out of town or in Boracay usually, they opted to center the eye of the competition here in Manila where the general public will get a closer feel of the action. In fact, the finals will be held inside the Palace Pool Club on April 10. While more of an uppity venue, it will still encourage more media and guest attendance to spread better awareness of the event.
The 2016 finalists (photos of the entries from the Filipino Community in the US still to follow) are:
The Men:
Jerome Tan, Ryan Sy, Culver Padilla, Erie Obsena, Ifran Khan, Jose Pio Luz III, Tom Esconde, Cedric Roxas, Shawn Stansbury, Ali Khatibi, Clint Bondad, Ameen Sardouk
The Women:
Olivia Medina, Carmela Fernandez, Ambra Gutierrez, Nancy Leonard, Princess Abella, Maria Martinez, Cassie Umali, Mirtle Gimenez, Kaara Tan, Carla Meneses, Anja Peter, Tanya Hyde.
Truth be told, I personally assessed each one of them. And I am leaned more on individuals who possess more all-around capture of the product’s target market. After all, this is not a bodybuilding contest but more of looking for the most fit and charming image models who best represent what Century Tuna is all about. I picked four (4) pairs as potential winners.
Here now are my favorites in random order:
Let’s see who will matter most to the judges come finals night. 😉

This batch is stronger that the previous years.
All men can share the spotlight by assigning them months as titles. Is that possible?
It’s a battle between Olivia and Ambra for the ladies. They are both oozing with sexxxiness.
I think Culver has the best musculature.. kulang lang sa height and facial symetry.. I like Ryan’s height, face structure and symetry and his bonestructures… but his musculature needs some improvement… Ali has the best balnce between facial symetry, bone structure and musculature… my only problem is that his lean dry face makes him look too mature… clint has the best bond structure but his traps are too big..
I want Ambra to win and try Miss World nx year 🙂

I like what Ambra said :
“I saw Sinners in the church and Angels in the Clubs. Never judge too soon.”
Ali & Ryan for men because their muscles are leaner than the rest whilst Ambra & Olivia for women for their faces and curves. These two ladies should try out for BbP2017.
Superbods finalists from BbP reuniting with Alaiza Malinao who looks like Queen Ariella at first glance. She definitely has levelled up. I hope she joins BbP next year.
Yah, I also thought it was Ariella Arida.
I was at the event. Ryan and Olivia exuded the most confidence. Was expecting more from my previous bets Ali and Clint. Culver had the best physique. I’m torn now, which is actually very surprising. Strong batch this year.
Thank you for sharing, D2E. Now I can see the candidates in a more detailed manner through your eyes. BTW, I like “abbreviating” your chosen username. It’s cool just like C2F. Cheers!
Ryan Sy / Olivia Medina.
Ganda ni Olivia Medina pang Miss Universe!
Dexter Co, in follow up to my comment on the previous Superbod’s feature here, the mystery has been solved. I was referring to Princess Abella (and not Maria Martinez as you guessed) as the one having beauty pageant potential. She is stunning ha, and I know she can improve more once she finally decides to join a national pageant. She is not a shoo-in for the top prize in this search, but… who knows? And the hotter guy than Ali Khatibi I referred to there is Clint Bondad pala.
Ana Princess Abella kinda looks like Valerie Abou Chacra of Lebanon in Miss World 2015 + a bit of Glaiza De Castro in this photo.
Exactly my thoughts, Laila. Pretty no? Hoping that she minds joining a national pageant, or the Binibining Pilipinas for that matter.
Good! You were able to identify your picks finally. Both your picks need to lose some baby fats. 🙂
Uh-huh! That’s the reason I said Princess Abella could hardly make the top prize in this search. Given some years of preparation, she can rock Binibini!
Very possible, Ana! 😊
Ang perfect ni Olivia Media grrr kahit sa IG nya……
I hope this pose is decent enough for the lawyers of BbP. Gorgeously vavavoom!
Stella Marquez de Colombia has already red flagged this. This girl can be a supermodel though.
That early?!? I bet! 😂😂😂
JawskopoeDu30, Kita ang dede.
Ayaw ng mga alagad ng BPCI ng ganyan.
Dapat itago ang mga kalaswaan at kademonyohan na ayaw ng BPCI para pumasa 🙂
Napahalakhak mo ako sa komento mo, Bong. Nakatutuwang basahin. Cheers!
Malabo. She has a lucrative career in modeling and has a lot of skumoy shots. This photo was from her rogue cover and feature. She does lots of these nature nudies coz of her skin and physique. Lam ko mabenta sya sa beauty and wedding editorials.
*skimpy shots bwiset na typo
Tatanungin sana kita kung anong term ‘yon. Mabilis ka talaga, Lai. 😊
I was thinking bakit Di nlang kumonoy😃lol
share ko lang dito kase…si leren Mae ang ganda, sana maisip nya mag BBP kahit nanalo na sya.
