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!

Philippines Breaks Guinness World Record of Largest Serving of Lechon

It was a hot and humid day but we were still happy during the event for Calata Corporation. For those who don't know, they're one of the largest agricultural conglomerates in the country. They are the corporation behind the distribution of brands like Bayer, Syngenta, Bmeg, Jardine, Monsanto, Dupont, Sinochem, Leads Agri, Planters Products, Swire, Yara. They are also behind agricultural chemical corporations such as AGRI Crop Protection, Heisenberg veterinary medicines, Thomson and Hine and Ivansmith agrochemicals.They also own Golden Bean Feeds which supply most of their products in AGRI stores nationwide. They're celebrating their 16th Anniversary and what better way to do it but by preparing a huge feast of roast pork commonly known as Lechon in this country. The premise is to break the Guinness World Record for the Largest Serving of Roast Pork set by Mexico a couple of years back. By the way, they supply huge corporations like Puregold, Lydia's Lechon, and others with produce, technology, distribution so you can just imagine how big they are in the industry. Instead of having just their company's posh party, they wanted to share it with the community. with those who couldn't really afford the well loved Filipino dish usually served in huge parties. Everything goes!

Here's what happened during the Guinness World Record Attempt


Calata Corporation World's Biggest Serving of... by kumagcow

That's not all. Calata Corporation is partnering with other NGO's, Foundations to give scholarship grants to deserving students. They're eventually planning to also do this specifically for agricultural courses so they could further improve the lives of Filipinos in the agricultural sector. Their dream is to make agriculture cool and dubbed it AgriCOOLture. Since they're already making waves and earning a ton in this industry, they hope to inspire more people to work and change the manner they perceive the business because true enough, they're showing that there is money and opportunity in agriculture. Our aging farmers won't be there forever and there should be another generation of people who would want to spend their life working, tilling the fields with the help of new technology, advanced ways so this agricultural country would eventually NOT import goods anymore and just locally produce everything here.

Previous record set was about 3,015 Kgs, we however set 4,046 Kgs. An honor for the Philippines and Calata Corporation. Congratulations to Calata Corporation on your 16th year!

Felix Manalo's World Premier and Guinness World Record Attempt

We're in Ciudad Victoria in Bocaue Bulacan for the world premier and world record attempt for the largest audience for a film screening for Viva's Felix Manalo. The lead role of the INC Founder got into the hands of one of GMA's prime leading men Dennis Trillo. It's heavily supported by the sect Iglesia Ni Cristo (Church of Christ) who's got quite a ton of members so they're assured of an audience already. Apart from that, this might be a good engine to tell the sect's story to the ordinary juan as it hits theaters this coming week. 

They weren't joking when they prepared for this as the Philippine Arena was almost full to the brim. I have to say, I'm not part of them and was just here to look at how the movie would fare in my pov. 

This is 3 years in the making, a film directed by Joel Lamangan. Stars include Xyriel Manabat, JC Parker, AJ Mulach, Alan Paule, Andrea Del Rosario, Carla Humphries, Jon Lucas, Mike Magat, Lloyd Samartino, Ruby Ruiz, Tony De Mesa, Ruru Madrid, Boy2 Quizon, Regine Angeles, Gladys Reyes (who was heavily cheered!), Gabby Concepcion, among others. Gladys quipped "This is it, at last, we will witness the premier of Felix Manalo. Thank you to all our brothers and sisters from different locales, and even those that are here to support our film, thank you so much!"

Dennis researched, believed and personified Felix Manalo and said they were well guided to do this role. He also wished people would get to watch the film not just today, but in the coming weeks when it comes out of theaters.

Nadine Lustre, noted Viva artist was also there to support the movie. 

Basil Valdez did Ngayon at Kailanman and Kastilyong Buhangin bringing nostalgia inside the venue. 

After the premier, the representatives from Guinness World Records confirmed there are about 3 more that will be broken today, the largest indoor screen, the largest crowd for a premier and the largest crowd for a Film Screening. This will make the existing 8 Iglesia ni Cristo world records into 11 by the end of the night.

As for the movie, it's a period film and production wise, it looks very well made. His childhood, the history of the Philippines in between his studies, of his stern and eager thirst for religion and it's understanding, was but very clear til his teen years.

You might get interested with it's origins, reasons for the lead actor's inquisitive state. In my understanding, it's a good watch if you're after the story but it could also make you question a lot of things if you're a little inquisitive too about your faith. Well, it can likewise be a tool for many things, the film can really make you think which is probably it's main purpose. Dennis did his job well, that alone made me watch this even if I'm not part of their sect. As for believing their religion, it's another story. Worthy to watch, I give it about a 7/10. I specifically didn't like the sepia treatment, some of the chroma war scenes, the manner of talk for me was also a tad bit unrealistic, I like the love angles (especially Bella Padilla who plays Honorata), the conflicts in faith would be a touchy thing to talk about but what this gives you is room to analyze if you're watching fact or fiction, because that's where you'll be the judge, like a personal judgement thing if you can say that. 

Felix Manalo starts showing on theaters this October 7, 2015. INC or not, watch it. It makes the named characters humane, and might make you understand why they are, who "they" are. It's complicated enough for you to make your own studies, might not be too simple to understand for ordinary individuals so like anything, take it with a grain of salt.

Watch it for Dennis Trillo, watch it for the story, but just like any other film, learn to analyze. I should also warn you it is a lengthy film at approximately 3hours. I believe this would be good for ages 13 and above so they could at least fend for themselves when they see it.

Let's see if we can interview Dennis after the movie.

PS, they have broken 2 new records officially tonight!

Ciao!
