Bostik Philippines Launches Campaign to Celebrate Heroic Filipino Boatmen with New Boats Up for Grabs

Bostik Philippines, a leading manufacturer of sealants and adhesives, has launched a heartwarming campaign to honor the everyday heroes of the sea—Filipino boatmen. Through its “Pabangka ni El Kapitan Marine Epoxy Promo,” the company invites boatmen in Luzon to share their real-life stories of courage, struggle, and service for a chance to win a brand-new bangka.

The promo runs from April 11 to June 23, 2025, and aims to recognize the essential role boatmen play in connecting and sustaining coastal communities across the country.

“These are the boatmen who wake up before sunrise, endure rough seas and unpredictable weather just to keep their communities going. We want to hear their stories, celebrate their bravery, and support their journeys,” said Fides Kasman, Bostik Philippines’ Director of Market Development.

Interested boatmen can submit their entries by completing a Google Form linked via Bostik’s official Facebook page. Entries will be evaluated for authenticity, emotional resonance, and potential impact of the prize.

Two winners will each receive a new bangka, with winners to be announced on June 25, 2025, under the supervision of a DTI representative.
