Uratex Promotes the Value of Sharing Moments Together.

Filipinos enjoy cherishing the times we share with family, friends, and loved ones especially during the holiday season. For the majority, the best memories are created inside the bedroom where family members bond or catch up with each other before they call it a day.

Giving salute to the importance of family traditions, Uratex, who is celebrating 50 years this 2018, unveiled a Christmas-themed video to celebrate family memories made inside the bedroom, their common area of solitude, and the bed, a central and key witness to that celebration.


The video starts by showing a young man longing for the love and company of their mother, supposedly an Overseas Filipino Worker (OFW). He has not seen her as she has not come home for the past three years working overseas. Not a day passes that the young man misses his mother, where he shared many fun and memorable moments with her while at his bedroom during his childhood. And now that Christmas is near, the longing is felt more than ever.

Meanwhile, the young man’s elder brother also does his best to overcome his yearning for their mother’s presence by focusing all his strength on his job. He silently cares for his brother’s needs and sees to it that his younger brother continues to strive to be the best individual that he can be. But like his younger brother, he misses his mother as well.

Alas, their wish was granted on Christmas Day when, as they try to celebrate Christmas just like in the previous years without their mother, they were pleasantly surprised with her arrival. The joy in the younger brother’s eyes was evident with their mother’s presence in a special time such as Christmas, finally, as one family.

For the elder brother, the arrival of their mother was the perfect time to tell her that he is now ready to take on the responsibility of caring for the family’s needs. With their mother’s long-awaited homecoming, it will be the perfect opportunity to create new memories again together—as one family.

Using Drastic Measures to Turn Boys' Lives Around.

When a young man becomes a problem, there are many different potential ways to deal with him. Some parents simply choose to let things play out, allowing the child opportunity after opportunity to fix their behavior. Others believe that it makes sense to try something more dramatic. This is where places like Wood Creek Academy come into play. Modern parents have figured out something important about their parenting strategy. More and more, they are willing to take their kids out of bad environments, placing them in the hands of people who will hold them into something better.

Many of today's parents have figured out that what their boys need is a juvenile boot camp. The military does a lot of things correctly in terms of turning older men into better men. Some use the military in order to grow up, enlisting after high school in search of something better. What makes the military so good at this? They have a regiment and require discipline of those people who enter their ranks. These things promote continuity, and they can help men find a sense of purpose. Today's academies have come up with a way to apply this model to young people.

If the name "boot camp" sounds too dramatic, then parents should not worry. Kids are not being subjected to any sort of abuse. Rather, they are simply being asked to complete a number of duties that make them a part of a team and a part of something bigger than themselves. Research suggests that one of the biggest problems for kids is that they lack a sense of belonging. This is why they often reach out to gangs in order to feel at home. Today's academies for boys are dedicated to using this model to give troubled kids precisely what they need.

The good thing about young men is that they are still malleable. They can be changed if they are put into the right environment, and their behavior can be modified with the proper behavioral approaches. Today's academies are teaching them more than just knowledge out of books. Rather, these academies are demonstrating to young men the things that they need to do in order to be productive, law-abiding citizens in the modern world. As more parents recognize that this option is available, those parents are taking full advantage of academies in remote places like the hills of Montana.
