Uratex Monoblock Brings Back “Bawal ang Marupok” with a Tasty New Twist in “Free Taste” Ad

 

Uratex Monoblock, the trusted Filipino plastic furniture brand, returns stronger than ever this year with a bold new chapter of its “Bawal ang Marupok” campaign. Expanding beyond chairs, this year’s movement casts a wider spotlight on furniture that stands the test of time—championing resilience, safety, and the importance of making wiser decisions in everyday life.

 

Kicking off the campaign is the witty and relatable video “Free Taste,” which tackles one of the most universally Filipino experiences—giving in to temptation. The ad follows a father and son inside a grocery store, where they come across stalls offering free taste samples. As they try one sample after another, they both give in to temptation and eventually buy the products they didn’t plan on purchasing. It’s a humorous and all-too-familiar scenario that ends with the now-iconic reminder: #BawalAngMarupok—a gentle nudge to be wise, practical, and intentional with our everyday choices.

The “Free Taste” video highlights everyday temptations and positions Uratex Monoblock as the smart and reliable choice.

 

The “Bawal ang Marupok” Standard: Smart, Strong, and Stylish

With over 30 years of experience in Filipino homes, Uratex Monoblock continues to set the gold standard for quality—this time ushering in a new generation of innovation and strength. The brand proudly stands as the first local manufacturer of blow-mold products for chairs and tables, marking a significant milestone in the Philippine furniture industry.

 

Uratex Monoblock also remains the only local plastic furniture line to receive the Level 5 certification from the International Organization for Standardization (ISO)—the highest plastic furniture standard in the country—and is certified by both the Department of Trade and Industry (DTI) and the Bureau of Philippine Standards (BPS). Each product is stress-tested to withstand up to 200 kilograms, ensuring long-lasting strength and safety.

 

This year, Uratex Monoblock introduces a new generation of products that reflect the brand’s evolution into more versatile, space-smart, and lifestyle-ready furniture:

     The William Folding Table, designed for portability without compromising stability—perfect for home offices, events, and everyday dining.

     The Mary Loveseat, a comfortable two-seater that brings lasting support to living rooms, patios, or shared corners at home.

“#BawalAngMarupok goes beyond physical durability—it’s a way of thinking. We want to encourage Filipinos to choose strong, reliable options in all aspects of life, especially when it comes to their home furniture,” said Mr. Dindo Medina, Business Unit Director of Uratex Monoblock. “Whether it’s a chair, a table, or an entire furniture set, strength and safety should never be compromised.”

 

“Free Taste” is the first of several new video releases in this year’s “Bawal ang Marupok” series, each reflecting a common “marupok” moment in a lighthearted and culturally resonant way. The campaign takes everyday scenarios—like impulse buying—and uses them to underscore the importance of strength in character, decision-making, and the products we choose to bring into our homes.

Aseana City Builds a Healthier Community Through Walkable Spaces

 

Pedestrian walkway in Parqal

In the hustle and bustle of a big city like Metro Manila, getting around on foot has become a daily challenge for many commuters. According to data from local civil society group Move As One Coalition, 94% of Filipinos walk or rely on public transportation while the remaining 6% use their own cars.

 

Further data from the said organization shows Filipinos spend around 77.5% of their travel time walking, yet only 5% of the roads are considered safe for pedestrians. Additionally, a survey conducted by Social Weather Stations (SWS) found that 44% of non-home-based Filipino workers walk to work, making it the most common way to commute.

 

Despite these numbers, roads are still made for cars instead of the people. Most investments from both the government and some private sectors tend to go toward easing traffic congestion for private vehicles rather than improving walkways and mass transport.

 

Pedestrian walkway outside Landmark/Ayala Malls Manila Bay, connecting Asean Ave. and D. Macapagal Ave. at night

 

While many urban areas continue to prioritize cars over people, Aseana City in the south of Metro Manila offers a refreshing contrast. Developed by D.M. Wenceslao Associates Inc. (PSE: DMW), this thriving business district is designed with walkability on the top of mind. The estate is being shaped into a “15-minute City”– a vision where workplaces, shops, and other essential services are all within walking distance.

 

“At Aseana City, we believe that a progressive city that cares for its people puts them at the center of its design. By designing and building a walkable city, we’re not just creating convenience, we also want people to have a more active, healthier and more connected life.” said Buds Wenceslao, Chief Executive Officer, DMWAI.

 

Aseana City also promotes wellness through its fitness-friendly spaces designed for both workers and visitors. Wide, shaded walkways, bike lanes, open parks, and recreational zones encourage people to stay active throughout the day. These features allow people to comfortably walk to dining and retail establishments, jog after or before work, or just simply enjoy a stroll, supporting convenience and fostering healthier lifestyle within the community.

 

Beyond urban planning, DMWAI continues to invest in public infrastructure that prioritizes community well-being. From green open spaces to integrated transport hubs, every element is thoughtfully designed to support a more livable environment. These investments also align with DMWAI’s push for a low-carbon lifestyle– reducing car dependency, lowering emissions, and fostering a culture where sustainable choices are seamlessly integrated into everyday life.

 

With more walkable spaces, Filipinos can look and step forward to safer, healthier, and more connected communities.

It is the master developer and primary owner of Aseana City, a development project with a total land area of 107.5 hectares located along the coastal waters of Manila Bay.
