Excitement and anticipation were high as 40 fit, sexy and healthy finalists of Century Tuna Superbods Ageless 2018 surpassed the Ultimate Challenge of the year! Held at the Inflatable Island in Subic, Asia’s biggest floating playground which offers 3, 400 sqm of inflatable activities floating on water, the Century Tuna Superbods Ageless 2018 Ultimate Challenge tested the finalists’ mental and physical fitness.
The challenge was divided into two different categories:
- the Superbods category, which consists of 20 finalists ages 18 to 37
- the Superbods Ageless category, which consists of 20 finalists ages 38 to 50
The finalists faced five different challenges: Inflatable Relay, Battle of the Generations, Island Cooking Dash, Hakot Cans and Selfie Challenge.
Challenge 1: Inflatable Relay

The first challenge tested the finalists’ agility and endurance. It featured an obstacle relay course consisted of the trampoline, monkey vines, donut tires, wobbly bridges, high balance and Tarzan swing for the Superbods; and wobbly bridges, monkey vines, jungle bars, happy swing and rock climbing for the Superbods Ageless.
Challenge 2: Battle of the Generations

The second challenge was the battle between two generations where Superbods and Ageless finalists competed against each other in answering trivia questions. It tested their quick wit and teamwork.

Challenge 3: Island Cooking Dash
Each successful pair then proceeded to the third challenge dubbed as the ‘Island Cooking Dash’ where they were asked to prepare a special Century Tuna dish. This aimed to test their creativity and resourcefulness. Below are some samples:
Challenge 4: Hakot Cans
The next challenge was the ‘Hakot Cans,’ a test to their critical thinking by strategizing in collecting the most number of Century Tuna cans in 90 seconds.
Challenge 5: Selfie Challenge

Are you fond of doing DIY projects? For the last few years many men and women have jumped on the DIY trend – from fixing things around the house to making new things from old things that you would normally discard.
Take for example the story of Elmer Padilla, a young man who found a creative way to turn rubber slippers into action figures. His primary tools – rubber slippers and Pioneer Adhesives.

Pioneer Products
Growing up I’ve heard of Pioneer Epoxy and I have memories of my dad mixing the contents of 2 tubes to make a putty which he used to fix things around the house. I, for one, commonly purchase Mighty Bond. I keep it handy for fixing things like broken handles, fix shoes, bags, and leather straps, etc.
Pioneer Products
Pioneer has different adhesive products for different kinds of materials and uses and most people are not aware of this. There is a specific product to be used for glass, steel, rubber, pipes, etc. One of their latest products is the Mighty Insta Glue Remover – use this for removing the adhesive that may get left behind on your fingers as you work.
Aside from fixing things, Pioneer Adhesives can also be used for creative projects, some of which as featured in the new DIY Planner from Pioneer Adhesives.
The Pioneer DIY 2018 Planner

Flip through the pages and discover something new things you can make using ordinary materials and Pioneer Adhesives. Maybe some you’ve already done and some you would like to try.
