- Mega Tuna creates bonding experience with Liza Soberano
- Winners of Mega Tuna contest, leveled up their Barkada Hangout Session by bonding with Mega barkada Liza Soberano
Hanging out with your barkada can be aa more fun bonding experience with great food and Liza Soberano.
To make this a reality for more barkadas in Metro and Mega Manila, Mega Tuna recently rolled out two exciting contests throughout the month of April that gave consumers the opportunity to hang out with Mega Tuna ambassador, Liza Soberano. At the same time, it was a good opportunity to share their creative culinary talent. The contest is to promote “sarap ng tunay” na bonding moments with your barkada while they recreate dishes that they love to share with each other using Mega Tuna.
Three groups emerged as winners in the contest, which required the barkada to create a video of themselves preparing creative dishes using Mega Tuna’s products. These videos were then posted on social media, where people had the chance to try out the delicious dishes that they had created.
Topping the list is “Mega Tuna Forever,” a cheesy Mega Tuna-stuffed pepper made by the group of Petruse Salagubang, Donabelle Salagubang, Kathleen Guevarra. The barkada shared that one of them was an excellent cook. “Meron kaming dish na feeling namin is something unique and kayang manalo,” said Petruse, noting that Mega Tuna is “pure meat and hindi nag-iiba ang quality.”
Another winner is the “Happy Chikis Squad,” a yummy sisig made of Mega Tuna. The dish is the creation of Raymard Bacolod, CA Pinili, Patricia Fabria, Nelaine Cleofe, Michael Mendoza. The team members said that sisig is their favorite, and that they cook it every week. When they heard about the contest, they decided to do the video right away, not only because they were excited to meet Liza, but also because Mega Tuna is a juicy ingredient that is perfect for the dish they were making. “Biglaan lang po talaga, nag dala lang po ako ng ring light, tapos yun po nag video lang kami. Yung concept namin medyo comedy, and natural talaga siya,” related Raymard.
Also garnering a prize was a group of friends that created a deep-fried sandwich made by Rennan Laguardia, Dean Marco Yerro, Argie Tepace, Melanie Rubio. “We want to try our capabilities in making a recipe para sa barkada namin,” explained Rennan, who used to work as a waiter and knew what customers liked. Mega Tuna was a perfect addition to the sandwich, he said. Masarap siya, hindi siya katulad ng ibang brands na sobrang alat. Tamang tama lang yung lasa niya, at hindi siya mamantika”
The winning barkadas happily bonded with their idol, Liza Soberano, who played games, sang songs, and posed for selfies with them. They also received gift packs containing Mega Tuna products, a Mega Tuna glass lock, a phone grip, and gift certificates that they shared not only with the barkada, but also with their families.
Running simultaneously was the Mega Tuna Hang-Out, wherein participants created their very own do-it-yourself dishes using available ingredients at special Mega Tuna booths in selected supermarkets. Excited consumers showcased their cooking skills at the booths, then took photos of their creations which they posted on social media with the hashtag #MegaHangOutWithLizaSoberano.
“Meeting all these talented barkadas was fun! It was a mega barkada bonding experience for all of us I learned a lot from their ideas on how Mega Tuna can be used to create healthy dishes. The dishes they created using Mega Tuna were all delicious and healthy too. I look forward to making these dishes myself,” concluded Liza.
