my|heroes - The Ninoy and Cory phone

At the Joint Congressional Oversight Committee hearing yesterday at the Senate of the Philippines, I saw the my|heroes phone by my|phone, a locally made phone, from Sister Mary Jo of St. Scholastica’s College and Jun Lozada, a controversial witness to the foiled the NBN-ZTE deal.

There are two kinds or designs of the phone (see photos). One of the phones is a slide down, while the other one is a QWERTY phone. Meanwhile, both of them are colored yellow, with a yellow ribbon cellphone holder with it. As we all know, the yellow ribbon is a symbol used by Tita Cory, especially after her death, and now used by Presidential candidate Senator Noynoy Aquino, son of the two.

Both camera phones have the digitized cartoon faces of Ninoy and Cory Aquino. Sister also said that the phones come with very cool and useful applications, which I forgot to ask about. I know that both phones come with the Holy Bible in it.

The QWERTY phone comes with a yellow cover/casing with the Philippine map engraved on one side, and the glasses of Ninoy Aquino and “iamninoy” and “iamcory” on the other side. Sister Mary Jo said that there are just a few thousands of these phones made, making it a limited collectors item. The slide down costs around 4 thousand pesos, while the QWERTY around 5 thousand pesos. Message me if you want to order. Stocks are limited until supply lasts.
