It was raining cats and dogs at Bora when the finals of Century Tuna Superbods started and The Pearl of Pacific and Plazoleta received the heaviest downpour. But that didn't dampen the spirit of these smokin hot men, who did obligatory smiles throughout the contest.
Van Victor Leano emerged the victor of the night(was it just a coincidence or it is just a name). He is a model and a businessman from De La Salle University- College of St Benilde as he was declared the hunk with ther healthiest bod and brain. Earlier he was the frontrunner in the marathon race, he also strut his wares in the ramp with much gusto and he outsmarted and outwitted all other opponents in the much dreaded Q and A portion.
The first runner up was Martin Richard and the second runner up was Rey Talosig one of SOP's singing hunk. Terence Lloyd was voted most Photogenic. Ervic Vijandre won for himself the coveted People Choice Award that made himself P5o,ooo pesos richer.Van Victor pocketed 500,000 thousand pesos and will soon like the rest of his predecessors John Avila and Ram Sagad will model for Century Tuna for a year.
And just like the tradition... will Van Victor be another Kapamilya to complete a formidable troika/triumvirate in the ABS CBN stable. This is a casting coup if you ask me ... Charo Santos ... are you listening?

When John Mullaly hug the limelight 2 0r 3 years back and then followed by Sylvester Ram Sagad, they never wanted to be the biggest names in Philippine TV firmament. They are there primarily to win the Century Tuna Super Bod titles, pocket some half a million pesos and then kick some butts too in the process, but strangely fate has different plans for the two as they are now included in a long list of successful male models shining oh-so-brightly in the ABS CBN stable of stars.

This year Century Tuna Superbods will continue its tradition of looking for who's who in the men's department. And if John Avila and Ram Sagad are gauges of more good things to come ... then Century Tuna surpass its own trailer. You know what I mean.
For movies, the trailer shows you the choice bits of scenes in a rapid-fire fashion. The trailer also gives you an impresion of how exciting the full length feature is going to be. And then when you see the movie in its entirety ... it turned out to be a big disapoointment!
Not so with Century Tuna. The trailer (John Avila and Ram 's winning) was a slambang, a hyperkinetic carnival entertainment ride. Who could forget John Avila outsmarting tried and tested thespians in the modelling industry and have them bit the dust? And who could forget
Ram Sagad making JC Tiusejo(GMA's Survivor's hunk) Raphael Kiefer (Best Model Philippines 2003 winner) and popular models like Joevince Canizares and James Zablan kowtow to their knees?
This year's contest is another tug-of-war as it promises to be another shoo-in for potential controversies and upsets. Ervic Vijandre is the most visible of the lot with his connection with the Marimar heroin aside from being a baseball star, Then there's Joseph Kidwell who also has a title to defend being Man of The Year. Van Victor Leano and David Nagtalon has entered showbiz too and Rey Talosig was SOP's resident singing hunk.
Not to be discounted are Laxie Villar a fast rising model very well known with his Multiply rah-rah rabid fanatics and Rex Flores, Terrence Lloyd, Mychal Nubla and Richard Martin are models with impeccable resume's. So who's hot ... and whose not? You are welcome to post your comments here. Thanks.
