Why Celebrity Mom Maricel Trusts Only Uratex?

Posted by on May 17, 2012 in Home Improvement, Home Tips | 0 comments

For most Moms, they only aim for great comfort of the family. That is really true especially when it comes to providing their loved ones a place for a good rest and sleep. For Moms believe that a person with a complete rest is healthy.

However, there are instances when people do not get enough sleep as much as they want. The place could not be conducive or maybe the mattress itself can be the culprit.

maricel1 -2This is why celebrity mom Maricel Laxa-Pangilinan, or Mommy Maricel, only trusts one brand as her go-to mattress provider. The award-winning actress, events host and speaker has been a Uratex user for the longest time, since her childhood.

“I’ve been using it for as long as I can remember, and I can say that with all honesty. Kasama ko ‘yan araw-araw. Dyan ako natutulog at nagigising so talagang part na ‘yan ng pamilya namin (I sleep and wake up on it every day so it’s really a part of our family),” Mommy Maricel said.

Having spent almost a third of her life on an Uratex bed, Mommy Maricel did not think twice in using the same brand when she started her own family with husband Anthony Pangilinan 18 years ago up to now that they have five children.

“’Yung mga mattresses namin, siguro 10 years na pero maganda pa. Meron kaming King- at apat na full-size (Our mattresses have been with us for 10 years but are still in good condition. We have King and four full-size) so I could say that Uratex is really our partner for good sleep.”Perfect Serenity_2_edited

Conscious of the health and well-being of her family, Mommy Maricel shares that even if she knows the brand’s durability, she still would have the product tested before buying it. What delighted her more is that the company uses computers to measure body contours and this assures her that specific designs and qualities would match the physique and sleeping habits of her family.

“Good thing also that Uratex provides a wide array of pillows that complement its mattresses to bring ultimate comfort and health while sleeping,” says Mommy Maricel.

With so many mattresses and pillows out there, she admits that it can be challenging in choosing the right one. Buying a mattress and pillow is a decision that Moms should think about carefully, she says. Though on the average most people replace their mattress every 7-10 years, she suggests that they should also consider their use in the long run. And the price, Maricel reiterates, should not be a hindrance in making a wise purchase.

Uratex DeluxeMattress_V2_F2“What is the price of good sleep? You cannot put a price on it. Parents should really prioritize and invest in a good mattress and pillow so they can assure their family’s good sleep and rest, especially the children.”

Putting a premium on her family’s health and well-being is indeed every Mom’s top priority. And helping her achieve it, is Uratex, which, true to its “Alagang Mommy, Alagang Uratex” thrust, creates the best foam product in the market to ensure a good and restful sleep for the families of today—just like that of Mommy Maricel.

How To Protect Your Home From UV Rays

Posted by on May 9, 2012 in Home Improvement, Home Tips | 0 comments

Summer is on its high in the Philippines. Temperature ranges from 33 to almost 35 degrees Celsius, and worst to 40 degree Celsius in some provinces in Luzon. And the ultra-violet (UV) rays from the sun are known to have various effects on our skin and bodies and can also cause eye problem and skin cancer.

But did you know that UV rays have damaging effects not only on our bodies but also on our homes, particularly the windows? Windows allow us to see the world outside and therefore should also be protected from the harmful rays of the sun. They form part of our line of defense to protect our families from rains or scorching heat from sunlight and therefore, should also be able to withstand it.

The best protection you can do is to choose a window product that offers better UV protection for itself than anything else like the uPVC windows from Portal East.

Aside from its unique and innovative “multi-point locking system” that makes the house secure and virtually burglar-proof and durable with its high-quality reinforced steel core, especially since most of us are out on our annual summer vacation, Portal East’s windows are manufactured to protect itself from warping or discoloration. They are really durable and do not warp in soaring temperatures, and doesn’t absorb the heat so the heat won’t be transferred into the house.

“We’ve known for a fact that the Philippines, being a tropical country, is naturally exposed to the sun many times of the year. Our windows bear the brunt of absorbing UV rays to allow us to see outside our houses and should be protected also to make them last longer,” explains Ralph Tanco, Marketing Manager of Portal East, Inc., a leading manufacturer of uPVC doors and windows in the Philippines.

Portal East, Inc. is a pioneering creator, designer, tester, manufacturer and installer of quality uPVC windows and doors for new construction, remodeling and placement applications for both residential and even commercial edifices in the Philippines.

A Mother’s Day Special: Why I Love Being A Mom?

Posted by on May 6, 2012 in Mommy's Heart | 0 comments

“Mommy, you’re the best!”

I was surprised when my 4-year old daughter hugged me and told me those words while I am bathing her. I asked why, then she replied, “For taking care of me and my little brother. I am so happy!”

I stopped and watched her eyes, kissed her and then continue bathing her. She keeps smiling at me. On my mind, I want to shout to happiness. This is the reward of being a Mom. Priceless happiness! The ecstasy was more fueled by my 1-year old boy who now learned how to return kisses and hugs to us. He is so sweet and irresistible.

What can I ask for? Do I need more wealth and influence? The love and affection I got from my little kids are enough treasures. And as they listen and learn from me and they become benevolent children, that are enough influence already!

I am an influencer? Read what my toddler suggested electricity saving tips:

1. "Mommy, dapat kapag walang tao sa kuwarto, papatayin po ang ilaw at ang aircon." (If there’s no one in the room, turn-off the light and the air con.)
2. "Lolo, kapag po walang nanunuod ng TV, papatayin kasi sayang kuryente." (Grandpa, if there’s no one watching the television, we should turned it off to save energy.)
3. "Mommy, kapag nagsasabon lang po ng kamay, papatayin ang gripo para hindi sayang ang tubig." (Mommy, when washing hands with soap, close the faucet if it is not in use.)

My children’s progress are incomparable life’s achievements. It is more than other recognitions I received. What’s more fulfilling is to see them achieved their own humble accolades too.

And witnessing how the siblings love and took care of each other, it gave me comfort and assurance. I am confident that I brought responsible citizens in the world.

I was very wrong to believe before that motherhood is a life of a hell or maybe I fear that I may not be a good Mom since I grew as a career woman. God just love me and want me happy so He gifted me a loving family.

I heard my little girl keep singing.."God is good to me..He hold my hands, God is good to me." And yes, she was right.
