    URCommunity Mart 2021 brings popular snacks closer to households

    The past year may have changed the way people shop, but one thing remains the same: people constantly look for good food choices that can be enjoyed and shared with the entire household. To keep Pinoy favorites closer to Filipino families across Metro Manila, Universal Robina Corporation (URC) brings back its roving store, URCommunity Mart.

    URCommunity Mart goes to Rizal

    Through the URCommunity Mart, classic Pinoy snacks are brought right at the doorstep of Filipino households. Shoppers can take advantage of URC’s affordable bundles of food essentials and well-loved treats like Piattos, Great Taste, Nissin Cup Noodles, Magic Flakes, Payless Xtra Big, and others that people can share with their loved ones. They can save up to P75 on these special food packs.

    Starting July 8, URC’s roving food mart will visit these barangays within Antipolo City – Brgy. Sta Cruz, Brgy. Dela Paz, Brgy. Bagong Nayon and Brgy. Mayamot. It will continue making stops at select Barangays and communities within Manila, Makati City, Taguig and Caloocan throughout the year.

    Delighting consumers with classic Pinoy snacks

    URC ensures that the teams handing out bundle packs strictly observe proper health protocols such as wearing PPEs, masks, shields, and practicing social distancing measures.

    URC aims to delight Filipinos with a wide selection of snacks and drinks that can be enjoyed by every generation. It launched URCommunity Mart last 2020 to offer Pinoys a safe and convenient way to shop for their favorite goodies.

    For more updates on the URCommunity Mart’s upcoming stops, visit URC’s Facebook page and website.

    Interested in getting further acquainted with your future favorite boy group? New stans, here are a few basic facts you should know about TREASURE:

    1. They debuted in August last year

    TREASURE entered the K-Pop scene on August 7, 2020 with their debut single,“BOY,” catching the attention of K-Pop fans around the world. The electrifying music video which accompanied the song managed to surpass 10 million views after a mere 26 hours!

    1. But they’ve already won a lot of awards

    As a rookie group, TREASURE has already proven that they’re quite a force to reckon with. Just look at some of the awards they’ve bagged since their debut less than a year ago—Rookie Artist of the Year at the 35th Golden Disc Awards and at the 2020 Asia Artist Awards, Best New Male Artist and Worldwide Fans’ Choice TOP 10 at the 2020 Mnet Asian Music Awards, and Global Super Rookies by Genius Korea.

    1. The members call the fandom TREASURE MAKER

    1. They’ve already started flexing their acting skills

    The members made their acting debut with their web drama, “It’s Okay, That’s Friendship,” a hilarious parody that touches on friendship and school life. It’s a must-watch for every TREASURE MAKER!
