Mega Sardines constructed the nearly 20-foot-tall festive tree from more than 70,000 cans of sardines to break the Guinness World Record for the tallest structure made from cans.

The can tree was built in a warehouse and is now on display in a shopping centre in the Asian country.

Mega Sardines chief Marvin Tiu Lim said: "We are very happy to receive this outstanding recognition from Guinness World Records.

"Our team has worked non-stop for seven consecutive days to build the tallest Christmas tree made of Mega Sardines cans to represent our commitment to providing affordable and nutritious meals to Filipinos."
