New and comfortable mattresses are placed on the bedroom of Haven for Children (Dagupan)
Leading foam manufacturer Uratex Philippines just achieved a noteworthy milestone to commemorate its 55th anniversary: they broke the record for the largest human mattress Domino. Beyond just breaking records, though, Uratex is celebrating by reiterating its dedication to corporate social responsibility (CSR) by contributing 2,355 mattresses to various charitable institutions around the Philippines.
In an interview during the event, Mrs. Naty Cheng, CEO and president of Uratex, emphasized the company’s dedication to giving back to the community. “Noong 40th anniversary, nagbigay na kami to forty charities. Noong 50th year, nagbigay ulit kami. Maraming nabigyan namin, buo pa yung kutson nila kaya bibigyan namin yung mga iba naman” (During our 40th anniversary, we donated to forty charities. On our 50th year, we did it again. Since many already received mattresses, we decided to help others).
Charity Foundations and Beneficiaries
CORA Foundation Beneficiaries – Silverio Elementary School
Orphanages, senior housing facilities, and other nonprofits that offer refuge to the poor are among the groups that benefit from Uratex’s mattress donations. Among the notable recipients are Bethany House Sto, Gawad Kalinga, Philippine Red Cross, and CORA Non-Profit Organization. Orphanage for Young People. These organizations were carefully selected because they share Uratex’s mission and have an immediate need for mattresses.
Gawad Kalinga Village
The company’s founder, Mr. Robert Cheng, articulated the following vision: “We will not stop until we give every Filipino with a comfortable and affordable mattress to lie on.” Uratex worked with outside partners to identify charities that support community hospitals in need of appropriate bedding as well as shelters for the elderly, women, children, and adults with special needs.
The 2,355 mattresses found their way to diverse communities, including the Muslim community, orphanages, homes for the aged, hospitals with outdated mattresses, and troubled teens in need of a fresh start. Some recipients were living in poor housing conditions, relying on uncomfortable bedding or, in some cases, had never experienced the comfort of a mattress.
Locations of the charities spanned across Cebu, Agusan del Norte, Cagayan de Oro City, Isla Verde in Batangas, Metro Manila, and nearby provinces.
Isla Verde, a secluded and simple community within Verde Island in Batangas, was one of the recipients. In an interview, recipients expressed their gratitude. One recipient stated, “Maraming salamat Uratex dahil natulungan nyo kaming mabigyan ng foam dahil sa sahig lamang kami natutulog. Ngayon ay komportable na kaming matulog dahil sa foam ng Uratex” (Thank you very much, Uratex, for helping us receive a foam. Before, we only slept on the floor. Now, we can sleep comfortably because of Uratex’s foam). Another recipient also conveyed appreciation, “Akoy nagpapasalamat at kami’y inyong nabigyang pansin… Maraming salamat sa Uratex. Kami ay makakahiga sa malambot” (I am thankful that you noticed us… Thank you, Uratex. We can now sleep on something soft).
The Mattresses: A Symbol of Quality and Generosity

2,355 units of Uratex’s best-selling Classic Uratex Single (36 x 75) mattresses, which were utilized in the attempt to set a record for the largest human mattress Domino, were donated by the company. The 14 minutes and 25 second attempt to break the record demonstrated Uratex’s dedication to excellence and served as the foundation for a larger CSR project.
Uratex is demonstrating how business success can be used to improve communities by fusing the thrill of setting a world record with a sizeable philanthropic donation. This is in line with the company’s long-term goal of giving comfort to every Filipino. This innovative program shows that, for Uratex, giving back is a commitment ingrained throughout the company’s 55-year history rather than only an occasion.

From this series of international activities, it has been proven that it is possible to raise the level of programs and activities in Puerto Princesa.
Strength, strategy, paddling speed, and teamwork were the advantages of the ‘paddlers’ who won the championship in the final competition. They showed the audience a breath-taking fight.

For the final time this season, the roars of cheering fans and the roaring noises of race vehicles accompanied Toyota Motor Philippines’ (TMP) official announcement of the winners of the TOYOTA GAZOO Racing (TGR) Vios Cup.
The TGR Vios Cup Grand Prix was introduced by this season’s competitors, providing motorsports fans with an amazing season finale. The 2023 final leg took place at the Clark International Speedway.
Racers seized the opportunity to participate and raise the excitement of both themselves and the audience. Troy Montero and Enzo Pineda, two TGR veterans, are competing for the Circuit Championship, along with Ryan Agoncillo, a celebrity rookie this season. For the Autocross Challenge, popular favorites Macoy Dubs, Benedict Cua, Bianca Yao, and Lexi Mendiola joined beauty queens Carla Lizardo and Megan Young on the course.
Participating racers across the three classes — Promotional, Sporting, and Super Sporting — in the Circuit Championship raced their hearts out to give the crowd a good show. Paolo Ayo (Race 7) and Alain Alzona (Race 8) dominated the Promotional class, while in the Sporting class, Bern Corpino (Race 7) and Mikey Keilani Jordan (Race 8), were announced as winners. John Dizon also proved to be a great racer as he took the top spot in the Super Sporting class in both races 7 and 8. These champions have been proving their unparalleled racing prowess during the previous legs of the Vios Cup 2023. But during the finals, they emerged as more skilled racers, winning them their respective awards.
Racers for the Grand Prix for Circuit Championship, although new to this format, made electrifying moments in the race. Alain Alzona, Darrell Garbes and Royce Sarmiento who were hailed the victors in the Promotional, Sporting, and Super Sporting classes respectively, further proved that they were born to be in the speedway. The same energy that the fans loved from the previous legs were consistent with all the participants, taking racing battles up a notch with their heated fervor and professionalism when it comes to racing.
Seeing all of the OMR cars in one grid, contending for the top spot in the tracks, was a pleasure for lovers of motorsports and the Vios Cup. The spectators loved the pit stop action because it transported them from the tracks to the grandstand in a riveting, intense moment.
The audience supported the Autocross Challenge competitors, which included Apple David, Arianne Bautista, Migy Romulo, Reph Bangsil, Genesis Redido, and Ezra Domingo, as they battled for the top slots. Patricia Tenorio, Ezra Domingo, John Rey San Diego, and Carla Lizardo were victorious in the Promotional Media and Influencer Classes and Sporting Media and Influencer Classes, respectively, following the thrilling race.
Here is the full list of winners:
Toyota’s GR-S lineup comprising of Hilux GR-S, Fortuner GR-S and Rush GR-S were displayed at the TGR Vios Cup 2023 activity area for crowd viewing. The audience also enjoyed games and activities prepared by event sponsors, along with the awesome performance of the popular indie band Sunkissed Lola.

The P-Pop group will be performing some of the fan favorites, which includes individual and group segments
The first major concert by P-Pop group KAIA is scheduled on December 19, 2023, at the Teatrino Promenade in Greenhills, San Juan. The band is excited to take the stage.
The much awaited event, dubbed KAIA IS HERE: 1st Solo Concert, is expected to feature incredible performances and high-caliber songs that demonstrate the Filipino group’s unquestionable artistic development and dedication.
The all-girl group will be playing live, featuring solo and group pieces created especially for their fan base, along with some of the new and beloved songs.
KAIA expressed their excitement about headlining their own solo show, which they consider a dream come true. “We had always dreamed of having our own solo concert, and now it’s happening,” shares the chart-topping act in a press statement. “While the pressure of it being our first solo show weighs on us, we’re fully dedicated to delivering the best possible experience to our fans.”
To make the production numbers extra special, KAIA underwent intensive training in dancing, singing, and performing, including cardio workouts due to the dance breaks and surprises that they will be showcasing on the day of the show.
“Despite the challenges, we pushed ourselves to deliver more than our best for our fans, ZAIA,” said the five-piece ensemble. To our ZAIA, thank you for your undying love and support for us. Because of all of you, our concert has become possible. In return, we will give you a performance that you will remember forever.”
Tickets for Kaia’s first solo performance are almost sold out and can be purchased via TicketNet and its physical locations across the country. To provide fans with the full fan experience, tickets are packaged with official merchandise.
When it comes to the topic of gratitude, most, if not all, musicians start off by saying, “I would like to thank my fans.” While skill undoubtedly plays a major role, nothing is more miraculous than when a form of expression gains traction and becomes widely recognized in popular culture. Super fans have evolved from their early manifestations of fervent devotion in the entertainment industry’s stronghold to the contemporary stan, as described in the poetry of Mr. Marshall Mathers III (that’s Eminem to you), to the general public. As a result, they are now the lifeblood of the entertainment industry and, in essence, an unmatched force to be reckoned with.
The stories of the superfans, from casual curiosity to ardent preference, are all similar because, although our levels of dedication may differ, we are all devoted to something or, well, someone. Taking inspiration from the success of its superfan event in 2022, Fanverse, UMusic Philippines is recognizing efforts that are nothing short of captivating and charming. Here, in a reimagined version of a fairytale, stars and fans will come together for a one-of-a-kind event infused with even more music and magic. Navigate to the adventure in Enchanted Kingdom, the most magical site in the Philippines, on December 17, 2023. Here, you’ll get the chance to live out your dreams of hanging out with your best friends at the Fanverse fan fair in an unforgettable setting.
You can fully participate in all of the unique activities planned for Fanverse 2023 in Enchanted Kingdom with the assistance of Eldar The Wizard. Regular day passes with concert entry cost P2000, while the EKspress day pass with concert entry costs P3000. Tickets include access to a variety of activities and games, meet and greets with your favorite musicians, busking sessions, a closet sale, and of course, an incredible music festival. It’s safe to say that the stars have aligned with artists like Juan Karlos, Zild, Jayda, Janine Berdin, Blaster, Dionela, ONE CLICK STRAIGHT, VXON, G22, AJAA, Yes My Love, Elha Nympha, Cydel, Isang, Shane Bernabe, Daniel Paringit, CHNDTR, Chen, Gab Tagadtad, dia maté, and more. Zack Tabudlo will be making a special appearance.
Even if everything sounds amazing and exciting, UMusic Fanverse 2023 in Enchanted Kingdom is basically a service to the one person who matters most to these celebrities: you. You are the main character in this novel, where your envisioned will become a reality rather than just a wish that your heart produces from a far, far away.
FanVerse 2023 is presented by UMusic Philippines, Universal Music Group Philippines, and Enchanted Kingdom. For more information and latest updates, follow their social media channels at @umusic.ph, @umgph, and @enchantedkingdom.ph on Facebook, @ek_philippines on Instagram.
