Uratex Monoblock, the trusted Filipino plastic furniture brand, recently launched its second campaign video, “Laro,” as part of its year-long campaign “Bawal ang Marupok,” which highlights how monoblock chairs can support and become part of every Filipino’s passion—even their intense gaming sessions.

Filipinos show undeniable dedication to their hobbies, and among these is gaming, which has become a significant part of Filipino culture and society.[A Closer Look into the Gaming Industry in the Philippines] In the ad titled “Laro,” it showed how Filipinos need not only a reliable team, but also a dependable monobloc chair that literally has their back. The video showed a teenage boy fervently playing an online game while seated on a Uratex Monoblock chair. He is interrupted by his father calling for help with his mother. As the boy rushes to help, his father takes over the game, testing the durability of the Uratex Monoblock chair with his intense play.

The Uratex Monoblock chair remains resilient through the family's lively interactions and energetic moments. The ad emphasized the chair's durability in typical Filipino household scenarios. Whether faced with daily activities or unexpected events, Uratex Monoblock stands ready to provide stable and reliable support.

Uratex Monoblock is the sole local plastic furniture brand with global standards at Level 5 certification from the International Organization for Standardization (ISO), reinforcing its 200kg seat load capacity that ensures durability and reliability of its premium products.

Uratex Monoblock, the trusted Filipino plastic furniture brand in the market, amplifies its “Bawal ang Marupok” campaign with a hilarious bang reflecting Filipino values of resilience amidst challenges, facing it with a touch of humor, and finding joy within the struggle.

The landmark initiative “Bawal Ang Marupok” positions Uratex Monoblock as both a trailblazer and a standard of its own, with Uratex Monoblock receiving local certifications from the Department of Trade and Industry (DTI) and the Bureau of Philippine Standards (DTI-BPS), and the only brand to achieve Level 5 certification from the International Organization for Standardization (ISO), the highest plastic furniture standard in the country. The campaign was launched last year as part of the brand’s 30th anniversary.

In its recent short video advertisement, viewers are transported into a familiar scenario where a young girl, seated on a Uratex Monoblock, is seen admiring her crush from afar. Despite the girl’s funny and over-the-top antics and reactions, the Monoblock remains intact. The girl may have fallen, but the Uratex Monoblock remains firm and reliable, ready to support in any situation—a glaring testament to its durability, quality, and strength, even in the most playful of situations.

“For over 30 years, Uratex Monoblock has continued its promise of providing quality comfort to Filipino homes. Our distinctions reflect our unwavering commitment to excellence and customer satisfaction, which caters to our customers’ comfort and peace of mind. With this, our products have surpassed a series of tests, including stress and drop testing, and ergonomic assessments, to ensure the brand's promise,” said Mr. Dindo Medina, Business Unit Director of Uratex Monoblock.

Similar to the girl in the video, we encounter daily scenarios that are often seen as 'marupok' or fragile. Through this campaign, we are reminded to be wise and prioritize the quality and safety that Uratex Monoblock guarantees in every piece. Investing in these sturdy, quality home furniture items is essential to ensure the safety and comfort of your loved ones, backed by a safety seal and reliable seat load capacity. In addition to the certifications, Uratex Monoblock can withstand up to 200 kilograms of weight, equivalent to the weight of three full-grown adults.

Uratex Monoblock offers a diverse range of home essentials that are carefully crafted, ensuring that the brand caters to various consumer preferences and home aesthetics. With common essentials like the 101 Classic, Americana, and Sofie Chair, they offer traditional monoblock chairs found in conventional Filipino households, ensuring that each chair not only retains its familiar appeal, but also upholds Uratex’s standards.
