URATEX Celebrates 55th Year with World Record and Meaningful CSR Efforts

Uratex Philippines just celebrated their 55th Anniversary by breaking a Guinness World Record for the largest Human Mattress Domino. The fun didn't end there as it was part of their CSR initiatives. Those 2,355 mattresses actually went somewhere after the event, particularly to different charity organizations in different parts of the country.

Their CEO and President Mrs. Naty Cheng mentioned "We've already given to 40 charity institutions during our 40th and 50th year, we've checked and saw that their mattresses were still in good condition. We opted to give even more to a different set of foundations so we could continue to help others."

The beneficiaries include actual orphanages, community hospitals, Muslim communities, homes for the elderly, non profit organizations and those who are in need. This also made them help in different locations like Cebu, Agusan, CDO, Batangas, Metro Manila and nearby cities. They provided to those who need it most as it aligns with their corporate values. Their founder Robert Cheng always reminded them to not stop til they get every Pinoy a comfy and affordable mattress. Wouldn't that be a nice future?

Recipients also were quick to thank the corp for going above and beyond of just being a business. Some of them conveyed how grateful they are that they wouldn't have to sleep on the ground because they got the mattresses now. That I think is even more meaningful than the world record, and certainly a good way to celebrate their 55th year!

URATEX Breaks Guinness World Record on their 55th Anniversary!

Well loved local and international sleep brand Uratex just a Guinness World Record for the longest and largest Human Mattress Domino. This feat has been initially set by folks from Brazil way back 2019 wherein 2,019 individuals did it. Uratex is celebrating their 55th Anniversary and what better way to do that but by breaking a world record, and so it begins at the SMX Convention Center.

This was attempted and verified on October 22, 2023. The Uratex Philippines President and CEO Ms. Naty Cheng was there together with over 2,355 people holding up the same number of Single Mattresses measuring 36 x 75 inches each to form the longest human mattress dominoes. Guinness World Record representative Mai McMillan from Japan assessed the feat if they get to break the record in 20 minutes and so they did.

They also did a huge surprise for attendees when they brought out the "A Very Good Girl" star Kathryn Bernardo. We all love her, and being here surely gave world record breakers extra encouragement to do the feat, and the confirmation says it all.

The Guinness World Record attempt was dedicated to the 4,000 Uratex employees and volunteers who helped pave the way to do this. They got the certificate right after and it was accepted by DJ Bigboy Cheng. The mattresses will not go to wasted as they will all be donated to over 55 local charities especially those who are in need of beds to house the homeless, seniors, the differently abled and kids which is a worthy cause to support for their 55th anniversary. Congratulations to everyone who made this attempt a successful one and helped put mattresses on beds, but also brought pride and honor to the Philippines as we hold this record for the world to see.

KATHRYN BERNARDO and 1,308 Gets Guinness World Record at Gatorade No Sugar Sweat Fest!

Our girl Kathryn Bernardo was part of the pack who led festivities at the Gatorade No Sugar Sweat Fest last May 6th. Imagine, 1,308 people clocking in the official Guinness World Record for the largest aerobic weight training class in the world! The previous one was only 978, and imagine, the Queen Kathryn Bernardo on stage participating in it as well, that alone is worth it!

For those who don't know, Gatorade gets the body fueled and energized, and now that it's got no sugar and calories, it'll be the best buddy to have when working out or performing at your peak. This comes in Citrus Quench and Blue Bolt flavors and is available in leading shops nationwide. Kath works out regularly (you can see her abs!) and say even if Gatorade No Sugar doesn't have sugar on it, it still tastes good! She and the participants were also given special shirts that reveal a message when you sweat on it, reminding them to hydrate if you're doing a lot of fitness activities, or have an active lifestyle. 

Congratulations to Gatorade Philippines for launching Gatorade No Sugar and having Kathryn Bernardo as part of your own Guinness World Record! Congrats Queen Kath!

In His Self Titled Album: Ken Chan

Young good looking guy Ken Chan launches album!

I've met Ken Chan in a charity event several months ago. During that time, I didn't know who he was, what he did or what he wanted to do with his career. A little background check and I've learned he's already a pro in commercials, he joined the stable of German Moreno in his late night show "Walang Tulugan" (No Sleep) together with other teens. Later on, he joined the cast of Tween Hearts which was a huge break. That might have stretched his teen years a little and broaden his fan base. He's done several shows later on, the most recent one of which is the top billing "Ang Dalawang Mrs. Real" (The two Mrs. Real's). Then now it's another feather to his hat as he begins his recording career with a self titled album "Ken Chan".

One of the greatest entertainers in the Philippines, legendary Father to the stars German Moreno.

 German Moreno himself was in the album launch to give support to the young artist. He also mentioned how they will continue to support and give recognition to artists who excel in their craft especially those who are good at it. He also heads the Philippine "Walk of Fame" that's found in Eastwood City and he mentioned a number of people that will be immortalized there pretty soon. Ken as he said works pretty hard and he hopes to find him fulfill his dreams the soonest.

Ken Chan also treated us with some songs on his album. The first one was "The Boyfriends" original song "Nais Kong Malaman Mo" (I want you to know) then an original called "Paikot-ikot" written by Kiko Salazar (Spinning) which is another OPM song in the track list. He's also got "Dahil Ikaw", Born For You, Tulog Na and Sumayaw Sumunod plus its equivalent instrumentals which completes his album's 12 tracks. It's also available on iTunes so there's no excuse for people abroad to purchase it.

I got the vibe that Ken's very thankful about those who have helped him to make this album possible. When asked about what's next for him, he told me that he's taking it day by day. Whatever opportunities arise, he'll be grateful and will try his best to grab it. He's also glad that he found his purpose in life and he's looking forward to more projects where his abilities to sing, dance and act would be utilized in its fullest potential. He wants to entertain more people and I'm sure he'll get there. Congratulations Ken! You deserve each and every bit of your success. I hope to see you achieve more than you wish for, because you are a really good person inside and out!

Make sure you get his album which is out now on leading record bars nationwide!
