Start Small, Stay Consistent

Big goals are achieved through small, consistent steps. Begin with manageable changes, like adding a 15-minute walk to your daily routine or swapping unhealthy snacks for nourishing options like Century Tuna Flakes in Oil. These small efforts compound into significant results over time.

Plan Balanced, Nutritious Meals

Fuel your fitness journey with Century Tuna and Grilled Sweet Potato 

Your fitness goals are fueled by what’s your plate. Incorporate protein-rich foods like Century Tuna into your meals to support muscle recovery and boost energy. With a variety of flavors, including Herbs and Paella, Century Tuna makes eating healthy both easy and delicious.

Hydrate, Hydrate, Hydrate

Staying hydrated is crucial for overall health and fitness. Carry a water bottle wherever you go and stay hydrated to maintain energy levels, aid digestion, and improve your workout performance.

Move More, Every Day

Just like Century Tuna brand ambassadors Richard Gomez and Aga Muhlach, you can be consistent in your fitness journey.

You don’t need a gym to stay active. Find an activity you love—dancing, biking, or yoga—and make it part of your routine. Take inspiration from Century Tuna ambassadors Richard Gomez and Aga Muhlach, who began their fitness journeys 10 months ago and have been consistently incorporating exercise into their busy lifestyles ever since.

Keep Your Goals Realistic and Track Progress

We Checked What’s Inside the HONOR X9c 5G and Here's Why It's The Toughest Phone of 2025

Tweet

HONOR Philippines has done it again with its viral and elevated durability challenge for the most awaited toughest phone of the year, the HONOR X9c 5G. 

======================================

Find out more on January 10 as we officially unveil the HONOR X9c 5G!

======================================

To prove durability claims, HONOR has shared the secrets of how HONOR X9c 5G became highly durable.

“HONOR X9c 5G has an All-Angle Triple Defense now. It is not just drop-resistant anymore where HONOR X9a and X9b 5G were known for. It is now water and heat-resistant that made this smartphone the toughest phone to hit the market yet,” said HONOR Philippines Vice President Stephen Cheng.

What’s behind HONOR X9c 5G’s Ultra-Toughness

1. Back-to-back Super Double Tempered Glass - Not only does the screen use this top-of-the-line tempered class, but the camera module also uses the same material. This glass is more durable than others making it more drop-resistant and scratch-resistant. With this, HONOR X9c 5G now has 360-degree drop resistance for up to two meters in height. HONOR X9c 5G also has survived more than 10 surfaces drop test on marble, cobblestone, gravel, asphalt etc.

2. Technical principle-under-screen shock-absorbing material - Simply put, the gap between the screen and the middle frame is filled with shock-absorbing materials to reduce the impact of the hard supporting objects of the middle frame on the screen.

3. 3-layer Water-Resistant Structure – The first layer is an external leakage port protection for side key port, SPK hole, and card tray hole upgraded to LIM (Liquid Injection Molding) rubber ring. The second layer protection which is for interface has USB rubber sleeve adopting straight surface matching + double sealing ribs; the card holder pokes pinholes to control roughness; and the leakage is reduced. The third layer is for board level and software protection: BTB protection with added foam; waterproof detection + software protection

All this and more when you get the HONOR X9c 5G! Interested in knowing more about the toughest phone? Don’t dare miss its grand launch live on Facebook (https://bit.ly/X9cLaunch_PR) on January 10, 6PM!
