Congratulations, Batang Bubble Aaron Maniego!

Bubble Gang star Aaron Maniego is set to dazzle everyone after he made it to the Top 20 of the iconic Superbods Era 2026 competition of Century Tuna.

Dubbed as the "Bortang Barbie," Aaron talked about his own fitness journey and learning to accept his unique self.

He shared, “I stand for being inclusive, because I represent the people that have been told that they have act in a certain type of way in order to be accepted, to be masculine or to be feminine. But I'm here to tell you right now that you don't have to do that.”

“Because with my story, someone who grew up being bullied, for being too fat, too feminine, I'm here to represent you guys.”

“As you can see, I've lost weight and left me with excess skin, stretch marks, and metanoia. Metanoia!”

The content creator and comedian then reminded everyone that wellness is "not being perfect."

“Today, this body of mine reminds me that wellness is not about being perfect, it's about looking at yourself in the mirror every single day and accepting who you are,” Aaron stressed.
