White up in Boracay

It was indeed another scorching hot summer weekend in Boracay with hot bodies, top celebrities, and cool parties heating up the island for the Century Tuna Superbods Beachfest 2007. Kicking off the two-day summer bash was the Century Tuna Sunset Party hosted by VJ and TV host Iya Villania and actor-model Derek Ramsay. Celebrity guests, party personalities and Superbods finalists in their white beach garb, flown in to Boracay by SEAir, were treated to a chill-out gig in Club Paraw. Guests also sampled the zesty, guilt-free delight that is the new Century Tuna Hot and Spicy variant, which has 50 percent less fat and less salt with a zesty hot and spicy flavor.

In the evening grand finals, the finalists wowed the audience with their beautiful bods as they wore Twinkle Ferraren swimsuits and board shorts by Resort Shop, all available at Cinderella. And the highlight was the time to announce this year’s Century Tuna Superbods winners. Landing on the top spot were Ram Sagad and Patty Ortega who each won a half-million peso, exclusive one-year modeling contract with Century Tuna. They are set to appear in the brand’s TV commercials, print ads, billboards and posters.
