Pageant king, actress take home P1M with Superbods 2026 wins

MANILA, Philippines — Pageant king Austin Dizon and actress Vienne Luna were named the grand winners of Century Tuna Superbods 2026, taking home P1 million each.

Dizon won the male title, while Luna was crowned the female winner, emerging from a field of 40 finalists.

Standing at 6-foot-6, Dizon said his height helped him stand out in the competition. He also credited his physical preparation and discipline for his win.

“I worked harder on my body this time,” he said, adding that he ate more protein and carbohydrates while maintaining his training.

Dizon admitted that he did not expect to win.

“I didn’t expect that I would win, actually. I’m just grateful for the experience, and I’m glad to have been there,” he said.

He plans to continue his advocacy for accessible nutrition after the competition.

Luna, meanwhile, said remaining genuine and authentic helped her secure the female title.

“Honestly, I just remained genuine and authentic,” she said.

The competition was also a personal journey for Luna, who said it helped her gain confidence and step outside her comfort zone.

“Before, I was actually a very shy girl,” she said. “This competition taught me to step out of my comfort zone and share the strength within me.”

Luna also plans to continue working on her advocacy focused on self-empowerment and resilience.

Pageant king MJ Ordillano and Jasmine Paguio were named runners-up, receiving P250,000 each.

The 2026 edition marked the 20th anniversary of the biennial Century Tuna Superbods competition.

Luna and Dizon were judged by a panel that included Marian Rivera, Luis Manzano, Anne Curtis, Alice Dixson, Mauro Lumba, Greg Banzon, and Carlo Endaya.

Special performances included James Reid, KZ Tandingan, and Atasha Muhlach.
