Uratex Monoblock Revives “Bawal ang Marupok” with a Fresh Take in New “Free Taste” Campaign

 Promoting Stronger Choices and Smarter Living in Every Filipino Home

Uratex Monoblock, a leading name in durable plastic furniture in the Philippines, reintroduces its iconic “Bawal ang Marupok” campaign with a timely and relatable twist. This year, the campaign goes beyond just durable chairs, aiming to inspire Filipinos to make stronger, wiser choices across all aspects of home living.

New Campaign Video Brings Everyday Temptation into Focus

At the heart of the campaign is the new video titled “Free Taste,” a humorous look at one of the most familiar Filipino experiences: giving in to impulse buys. The short film follows a father and son wandering through a grocery store, hopping from one free sample booth to another. By the end of their stroll, they’ve bought more than they planned, a light and funny reminder of how easily we can be swayed by temptation.

The video closes with the powerful call to action: #BawalAngMarupok, reinforcing the message to be mindful and practical, especially when making everyday choices.

Setting the Standard for Strength, Style, and Smarter Design

For over 30 years, Uratex Monoblock has remained a trusted household name in the Philippines, known for high-quality plastic furniture built to last. As the first local manufacturer of blow-molded plastic furniture, the brand has played a key role in shaping the country’s furniture landscape.

Uratex Monoblock holds the Level 5 certification from the International Organization for Standardization (ISO), the highest standard for plastic furniture in the country. It’s also certified by the Department of Trade and Industry (DTI) and the Bureau of Philippine Standards (BPS). Each product undergoes stress testing to support up to 200 kilograms, ensuring both strength and safety at home.

Introducing New Lifestyle-Ready Furniture

As part of its evolving product line, Uratex Monoblock is launching fresh additions designed to fit today’s flexible, space-conscious lifestyles:

William Folding Table: Lightweight, foldable, and sturdy, ideal for work-from-home setups, family events, and everyday meals.

Mary Loveseat: A cozy, two-seater solution that brings comfort and lasting support to living rooms, patios, or shared spaces.

These new pieces reflect the brand’s continued commitment to creating smart, stylish, and space-saving furniture solutions for the modern Filipino household.

“Bawal ang Marupok” as a Mindset, Not Just a Message

“This campaign is about more than just durable furniture,” says Dindo Medina, Business Unit Director of Uratex Monoblock. “It’s about encouraging Filipinos to make strong and reliable choices in every area of life, starting with the products we bring into our homes.”

The “Free Taste” video is just the beginning. Uratex Monoblock is set to release more short videos in the coming months, each one tapping into everyday Filipino experiences that highlight the importance of strength ,whether in our character, our decisions, or our furniture.
