Five flagship brands from food and beverage firm Universal Robina Corp. (URC) have landed in an exclusive list of products consistently chosen by millions of Filipino households. 

Great Taste, C2, Piattos, Nissin and Payless were all among the most chosen FMCG brands in the Philippines according to the 2025 Brand Footprint Report of global consulting firm Worldpanel by Numerator. 

URC Brands: Great Taste, C2, Piattos, Nissin and Payless

“The results of this study show that our brands continue to earn the trust and loyalty of Filipino consumers,” said URC Chief Marketing Officer Karen Ong. “We’re proud that our products remain staples in homes across the country,” she added. 

The Brand Footprint report is Worldpanel’s annual ranking of the most chosen FMCG brands worldwide. It uses a metric called “consumer reach points” (CRP) to measure a brand’s strength based on how many shoppers are buying the brand and how often. It essentially shows which brands are winning at the point of purchase. 

One CRP represents a single instance of a shopper choosing a brand – integrating data on population, penetration and frequency – to provide a holistic view of brand performance. 

“With more time spent out and about and an easing of inflation, Filipinos shop more often. This means more opportunities for each brand to be bought.” said Marie-Anne Lezoraine, Managing Director for Worldpanel by Numerator in the Philippines

Coffee brand Great Taste was in the top 10 most chosen FMCG brands in the Philippines, with 367 million CRP. It was also the fourth most chosen brand in the beverage sector. 

Ready-to-drink green tea beverage C2 also landed in the beverage sector list with 33 million CRP. 

Potato snack Piattos outpaced its rivals in the food sector, holding steady at seventh in the rankings, with 180 million CRP. 

Noodle brands Nissin, with 101 million CRP, and Payless, at 73 million CRP, likewise landed in the most chosen brands list for food sector. 

Worldpanel said an economic rebound in 2024 had led to a 6 per cent jump in consumer spending on FMCG brands. 

“Brands that remained visible and accessible during this recovery period saw stronger gains in consumer engagement,” said Karen Ong. “URC’s portfolio clearly benefited from that momentum.”

URC produces iconic brands such as Great Taste, C2 Cool & Clean, Piattos, Maxx candy and Cream-O cookies, which have been part of Filipinos’ lives for decades. One of the country’s largest food and beverage manufacturers, URC also has significant, and growing, presence in ASEAN. Its leading regional brands include Lexus, Tivoli and Fun-O.

Championing strength, safety, and smarter choices in every Filipino home

Uratex Monoblock, the trusted Filipino plastic furniture brand, returns stronger than ever this year with a bold new chapter of its “Bawal ang Marupok” campaign. Expanding beyond chairs, this year’s movement casts a wider spotlight on furniture that stands the test of time—championing resilience, safety, and the importance of making wiser decisions in everyday life.

The “Free Taste” video highlights everyday temptations and positions Uratex Monoblock as the smart and reliable choice. Link of

Kicking off the campaign is the witty and relatable video “Free Taste,” which tackles one of the most universally Filipino experiences—giving in to temptation. The ad follows a father and son inside a grocery store, where they come across stalls offering free taste samples. As they try one sample after another, they both give in to temptation and eventually buy the products they didn’t plan on purchasing. It’s a humorous and all-too-familiar scenario that ends with the now-iconic reminder: #BawalAngMarupok—a gentle nudge to be wise, practical, and intentional with our everyday choices.

The “Free Taste” video highlights everyday temptations and positions Uratex Monoblock as the smart and reliable choice.

The “Bawal ang Marupok” Standard: Smart, Strong, and Stylish

With over 30 years of experience in Filipino homes, Uratex Monoblock continues to set the gold standard for quality—this time ushering in a new generation of innovation and strength. The brand proudly stands as the first local manufacturer of blow-mold products for chairs and tables, marking a significant milestone in the Philippine furniture industry.

Uratex Monoblock also remains the only local plastic furniture line to receive the Level 5 certification from the International Organization for Standardization (ISO)—the highest plastic furniture standard in the country—and is certified by both the Department of Trade and Industry (DTI) and the Bureau of Philippine Standards (BPS). Each product is stress-tested to withstand up to 200 kilograms, ensuring long-lasting strength and safety.

This year, Uratex Monoblock introduces a new generation of products that reflect the brand’s evolution into more versatile, space-smart, and lifestyle-ready furniture:

The Mary Loveseat, a comfortable two-seater that brings lasting support to living rooms, patios, or shared corners at home.

The William Folding Table, designed for portability without compromising stability—perfect for home offices, events, and everyday dining.

“#BawalAngMarupok goes beyond physical durability—it’s a way of thinking. We want to encourage Filipinos to choose strong, reliable options in all aspects of life, especially when it comes to their home furniture,” said Mr. Dindo Medina, Business Unit Director of Uratex Monoblock. “Whether it’s a chair, a table, or an entire furniture set, strength and safety should never be compromised.”

“Free Taste” is the first of several new video releases in this year’s “Bawal ang Marupok” series, each reflecting a common “marupok” moment in a lighthearted and culturally resonant way. The campaign takes everyday scenarios—like impulse buying—and uses them to underscore the importance of strength in character, decision-making, and the products we choose to bring into our homes.
