MANILA, Philippines - Century Tuna, the country’s No. 1 tuna brand, unveils a sexier, healthier image as it reveals its newest celebrity endorser — football star Phil Younghusband.
The Azkals heartthrob joins current image model, actress Angel Locsin, in a new campaign, “Showing Off the Best in You with Century Tuna,” which celebrates individuality and healthy living in today’s world.
“As a successful football star, Phil is the perfect role model for individuals today who are into getting fit and healthy and living a happy, positive life,” says Angela Gamboa, senior brand manager for Century Tuna. “Phil perfectly complements Angel as health and wellness ambassador as they are not only active in sports and embody the Century Tuna healthy lifestyle; they also inspire the public to bring out their individualities and love for the healthy lifestyle.”
Twenty-three-year-old Filipino-British Phillip James Placer Younghusband rose to fame as a member of the Philippine Azkals, the country’s national football team, where he plays as a forward. Phil started kicking a ball as early as three years old and grew up watching football games on TV in his hometown Ashford, Middlesex, England, where he was born.
His love for the sport continued until his teens and focused on making it into the professional league. Along with brother James, Phil became part of the reserve squad of the Chelsea Football Club in England before being tapped by the Philippine Football Federation to play for the national team in 2005.
His move became official in 2008 and since last year, he has been frontlining the now popular Philippine Azkals.
Joining Angel for the new campaign, Phil is all set to inspire individuals to express themselves and their passion for healthy living — showing off a sexier, healthier you with Century Tuna.
“I’m grateful to be chosen as one of the endorsers of Century Tuna and I’m very thrilled to be working with Angel for this project,” said Phil. “I always eat Century Tuna; it’s part of my daily diet and it helps me with my games.”
Angel is excited to headline the new Century Tuna campaign with Phil. “It’s another good project to inspire people to be healthier. I’m excited to work with Phil also because he’s a good role model and active in sports just like me.”
Phil and Angel can now be seen in the new Century Tuna TVC currently on primetime TV. The new TVC emphasizes how people today can show off the best in themselves with Century Tuna Flakes in Oil, which contains the highest level of omega 3 for brainpower, healthy body, and strong heart.
