Elevate Your Sleep Experience with Uratex Bed Linens

0

Elevate your slumber experience with the Philippines’ leading mattress provider, Uratex. After 56 years in the industry, Uratex is further expanding its impressive product range to include bed linens.

Uratex’s bed linens are soft and smooth, and it features trendy designs, appealing patterns, and eye-catching colors.

As a proudly Filipino-owned company, Multiflex RNC Philippines, Inc. (Uratex Philippines), not only promises to produce high-quality mattresses Filipinos can afford but it also ensures that all its products provide comfort and create meaningful memories.

The Uratex Legacy Continues with the Bed Linens

When Robert and Natividad Cheng established the Polyfoam Chemical Corporation, they invested in world-class research and development to produce high-grade foams. The brand has since grown to become the most recognized household name in the bedding industry.

It is the same commitment to quality that Uratex is applying to making the bed linens.

“We deliberately wanted to follow the culture of Uratex, with the same format that we really want to cater to all target markets. Our founder, Mr. Cheng, had the vision to give every Filipino a comfortable and affordable mattress to lie on,” expressed Christian Cheng, the brand marketing manager for bed linens.

“It is also the same way with our bed linens. We also want to provide and give access to all Filipinos. Our range is really big, from the affordable to the upscale products,” added Christian Cheng.

Here are their product offerings:

SLEEP BASIC BED LINENS

“We have a polyester, which is a material that is durable. It’s wrinkle resistant. So, no matter how much you scratch it, you won’t see any crease marks. And it doesn’t shrink. The shrinkage is only 0.26% after the first wash. But it’s affordable because it’s man-made. And it was really intended to be affordable,” Cheng explained.

PRIME COMFORT BED LINENS

“We have the polyester cotton blend—50% polyester, 50% cotton. It’s called Prime Comfort. That’s the 180 Thread Count. The difference with polyester is that it’s soft, shrink-resistant, and wrinkle-resistant. But it has a breathable feature because we know that when we use cotton, it’s cool aNd comfortable,” Cheng continued.

PREMIUM TOUCH BED LINENS

“Cotton is made naturally, so it’s really more expensive because you’re going to source it from the cotton itself. Cotton has three types of thread count that Uratex sells. There’s 200TC or 200 thread count, which is Uratex Bed Linen. There’s also 300 thread count, which is Wing Bed Linen. There’s also Premium Touch Bed Linen at 500 thread count. When the thread count is higher, since more yarns are used, the surface is softer. So, it feels more luxurious when you touch it,” Cheng explained.

ECO DELUXE BED LINENS

“Then we also have 300 thread count bamboo. That’s the Eco Deluxe Bed Linen. The difference between bamboo and cotton is that bamboo is thinner. Bamboo is softer. Bamboo is very soft and cold. And it’s very comfortable to use. The difference with cotton is that the fabric is thinner and the bamboo is silky,” said Cheng.

Ambassadors of Good Quality

The Uratex group of companies is globally competitive. With a younger generation at the helm, it understands that the world now revolves around persuasive people— the influencers— who can sway the market into patronizing Uratex products.

Demonstrating prowess and agility in navigating the local and international markets and competition, Cheng and his team enlisted dynamic individuals who can help drive the sales of the bed linens— Internet personality Bigboy Cheng and celebrity mom Pauleen Luna-Sotto.

“Bigboy Cheng is someone who has convincing power. He can convince people with what he says. And that’s the most unique selling point of Bigboy Cheng—he can really sell. He can sell even if he’s just vlogging. He can lead to sales. So, we want to capitalize on that with the linens,” Christian Cheng explained.

Bigboy said, “56 years na ang Uratex. Sikat tayo sa mga kutson, and never in my life nagkaroon ng bed linens. So, history ito para sa atin and gusto ko maging part nito.”

He added, “Grabe, ang sarap ng feel tapos yung mga designs, ang ganda rin tingnan as in. Na-try ko yung cotton and yung bamboo sa shoot namin, ang lambot sobra.”

As for Pauleen Luna-Sotto, Christian Cheng said of his choice as endorser: “She’s a great mom. On social media, we saw the sentiments about her are very positive. She’s a very hands-on mom. And, of course, because she’s the one who buys for the household, we target the Linen Purchasers. And those are the moms.”

Christian Cheng further added: “So, we needed to get a mom who does that. And Pauleen is the perfect example for that. And she also uses Uratex. So, what’s very common between Bigboy Cheng and Pauleen is that they’re very relevant to people.”

Pauleen, for her part, enthused: “My family loves buying and experiencing new bed sheets. That’s why I’m so glad that as a Uratex user, they finally have a bed linen line to complete their collection. I really got excited as a bed linen buyer and user.

“Actually, during the shoot, inantok ako when I tried them, specifically the cotton and the bamboo bed linens. It was so smooth and cool that I was about to sleep during the shoot. Ganun siya ka-sarap. It’s ideal for bedrooms because of the comfort it brings, and the designs are aesthetically pleasing.

“As a mom, I hope that I am able to use my platform to tell my co-mothers any tips and tricks when it comes to buying and using bed linens, since we are the ones who really purchase these items for our families.”

Uratex Bed Linens are available in all Uratex showrooms across the Philippines and authorized Uratex dealers. You may also check other Uratex products and brand updates on their official website and Facebook Page.

Restorative Economy effort that Blends Conservation and Community Empowerment: Practice from Indonesia and Philippines

0

Southeast Asia faces escalating economic challenges, including global fragmentation, geopolitical shifts, and the climate crisis. To tackle these issues, the region must adopt new economic models beyond extractive industries, such as the restorative economy, which restores ecosystems to support local economies.

Environmental degradation from extractive practices has severe global impacts, with 87% of wetlands lost since the Industrial Revolution, harming biodiversity, water resources, and flood prevention. Land degradation affects 3.2 billion people and costs the global economy $9.4 trillion annually.

While still emerging, restorative efforts are growing in Southeast Asia, focusing on land use, sustainable tourism, and recycling. A key example of restorative efforts is the Masungi Georeserve in the Philippines, established in the 1990s, this 430-hectare site, once devastated by illegal logging and land clearing, now thrives as a hub of conservation, community empowerment, and sustainable tourism, protecting limestone karsts, forests, and biodiversity.

Youth as The Agent of Restorative Economy

In Siak Regency, Indonesia, a restorative economic activity is also underway in its infancy through Skelas, a creative platform driven by Siak’s youth. The platform has succeeded in creating food innovations that not only benefit environmental sustainability but also have a positive impact on the local economy. One is the innovation of gluten-free premix flour that uses modified cassava flour (mocaf) and rice bran as raw materials.

Skelas has supported Santi Lestari, a 41-year-old mother, who is behind the creation of this gluten-free premix flour. Santi said that the motivation behind making this premix flour was her concern about the difficulty of finding gluten-free food ingredients and the desire to utilize the potential of local food ingredients.

“Initially, my third child was diagnosed by a doctor as having ADHD, so it was recommended to reduce wheat consumption so that the nervous disorder would not continue. Because there weren’t many choices, I tried to make my basic ingredients for Kemojo cake because it’s my child’s favorite food,” she said.

Starting from concern for her child’s health, Santi began researching and developing her product under Dapur Mempura in 2019 during the pandemic. Then, Santi joined the Siak Sustainable Business Incubation (KUBISA) program from the Siak Sustainable Creative Center (SKELAS) to develop her product for 6 months. The program is aimed to support sustainable business actors in Siak in achieving business prosperity while maintaining environmental sustainability.

The process of making this gluten-free premix flour goes through several stages, starting from designing the recipe, finding the right composition of raw materials, processing the texture, and testing the taste of the resulting product. In this case, Santi and her team work intensively with PT Alam Siak Lestari, which oversees the Siak Innovation Lab, to ensure that the products produced are safe and under applicable standards.

The advantages of this gluten-free premix flour lie not only in its natural raw materials but also in its ease of use. In addition to being easy and fast, this premix flour is very practical so that anyone can use it themselves. Therefore, this product has the potential to be distributed not only in the Siak region but also to the entire Riau region.

From Field to Table

Uniquely, this premix flour is not just a food product. Behind each package is a story about the restorative economy that is being built. By using mocaf flour and rice bran as the main ingredients, this product provides added value for local farmers.

Bran itself is a by-product of rice processing; usually, this bran is only used as animal feed and is not used by farmers further. However, since the development of bolu kemojo, Mrs. Santi has always bought the bran, thus providing additional income for farmers. Apart from providing additional economic benefits, using local bran will have a better impact on nature because of the reduction of waste during the rice processing. For mocaf flour itself, previously Mrs. Santi did buy it from outside parties, but the Siak Innovation Lab program itself has succeeded in encouraging the production of local Mocaf flour.

This certainly helps farmers and surrounding communities increasingly facing challenges from the climate crisis and land degradation, which reduce their ability to get the right results from agricultural cultivation. Ahmad, one of the farmers, said that the increasing land degradation in his area makes it difficult for him to get the harvest according to market needs.

“Sometimes it’s difficult, especially during the dry season, because the crops fail to harvest. Land is also limited, while the need to supply is increasing, and we must adjust prices to continue producing and surviving,” said Ahmad.

The Potential of Indonesia’s Healthy Food Industry to Restore the Surrounding Economy

Innovations in local food ingredients, such as premix flour from Dapur Mempura, encourage other local businesses to add economic value. Santi shared her transformation from a housewife into an MSME manager who employs several kitchens in Siak. This received a positive response from the local government.

“We see the positive impact of various innovations in local food ingredients on the development of the local economy. Innovations such as this natural ingredient premix flour meet nutritional needs but also respect village agricultural land, creating a sustainable ecosystem that synergizes with each other,” said Cerli Febri, from Skelas.

Cerli also hopes that this product can be a trigger for the growth of a sustainable economy in Siak, that goes beyond a food ecosystem, creating a conservation effort that has holistic tourist destinations like Masungi Georeserve in the Philippines. So that people can no longer need to depend on extractive economic policy.

LET’S DOH IT AGAIN! IN BOTH HOUSES ON WORLD UNIVERSAL HEALTH CARE DAY

0

For the first time in Philippine history, two health reform champions unite in the upcoming 2025 elections to guarantee that quality healthcare services reach the poorest Filipino families, ensuring access to health services for all.

Inspired by the legacy of the late Senator Dr. Juan Flavier (1995–2007), known for his advocacy of “Bringing a Doctor to the Senate,” renowned physician Dr. Willie Ong and Dr. Jondi Flavier, first nominee of the HEALTH ALLIANCE PH (HEAL PH) Party-List 152, are both running in the May 2025 midterm elections.

Their campaign message is clear: “Let’s DOH it again.”

Alongside them are former Department of Health (DOH) Undersecretary Dr. Eric Tayag and former Department of Environment and Natural Resources (DENR) Undersecretary Major General Bennie de Leon, who joined the HEAL PH team as key nominees.

Both Dr. Willie Ong and HEAL PH are committed to advancing the principles of Primary Health Care, as set out in the 1978 Alma Ata Declaration, and to fully supporting the Universal Health Care Act of 2019, known as “Kalusugan Pangkalahatan.”

Their shared vision, once elected, is to advocate for the G.O.A.L. program that will directly benefit the underserved Filipino communities:

G – Gamot (Free Medicine)

O – Operasyon (Free Medical Operations)

A – Abiso (Correct Health Advice)

L – Lab Tests (Free Laboratory Tests)

These initiatives will be focused on urban poor communities and remote barangays, ensuring that those who need help the most receive the care they deserve.

Dr. Willie and HEAL PH also pledged to support the Department of Health (DOH) and local government units (LGUs) in recruiting, training, and deploying more young, idealistic doctors and health workers to underserved areas, continuing the program initiated by Dr. Juan Flavier in 1993.

A key part of their platform is the promotion of Health Cards with unlimited medical coverage, which will provide vulnerable Filipinos with access to essential healthcare services from basic care to specialized treatments.

These cards will not only save lives but will also help combat fraud in healthcare facilities.

Rather than focusing on new investments, Dr. Willie and HEAL PH will prioritize optimizing and modernizing existing resources to improve government health infrastructure.

They are committed to implementing strict penalties for the misappropriation of public health funds, including making such offenses non-bailable.

The Manifesto of Solidarity and Collaboration, signed by Atty. Gilbert Lauengco, Chief of Staff for Dr. Willie Ong, was formally launched today, December 12, 2024, at Spices Restaurant, The Peninsula Manila, Makati. Dr. Jondi Flavier, Dr. Eric Tayag, General Bennie de Leon, and other HEAL PH nominees were present to witness the event.

To make things better, at now 4000 stores nationwide, the convenience store giant is able to successfully bridge these international eats to the tables of even more Pinoys.

After rolling out delightful dishes inspired by Japan, Korea, and Thailand, a brand new lineup is extending the spread to bring us a Taste of Taiwan. Three of 7-Eleven’s popular in-house brands—Big Time Meals®, HottaRice®, and 7-Fresh®—are teaming up so that customers can truly enjoy a flavor fest of Taiwan’s best whenever the craving hits.

If it’s a filling meal one needs without breaking the bank, three scrumptious options can meet their cravings, namely Big Time Meals® Chicken Chop Bento at P129, HottaRice® Lu Rou Fan or Taiwanese Braised Pork at P99, and 7-Fresh® Taiwanese Beef Noodles at P95. Snack time is also bound to get tastier with every bite of the 7-Fresh® Pepper Pork Bun for just P59. And because there’s always room for dessert, there’s the 7-Fresh® Almond Jelly for a refreshing way to cap off lunch breaks or to simply get any time for a well-deserved treat.

With a variety of selections to choose from, foodies can easily drop by 7-Eleven for breakfast, lunch, merienda, or dinner, and be transported to the streets of Taiwan.
7-Eleven’s Taste of Taiwan is available in select Luzon stores now. Skip the long journey and indulge in these Taiwan favorites 24/7 at everyone’s paboritong kapitbahay.
