Who is your hero?

There are approximately 90 million Filipinos.
And mobile users in the Philippines is expected to reach 73 million by 2010!

Quickly analyze the stats and you can picture a country of hardworking people addicted to their phones and its services!

I, for one own 2 phones and using 3 active sims.

My reliable Nokia E71 for work. Currently being threatened to be dethroned by a Blackberry.

Which houses my Malaysian and Philippines numbers. I just love its core function of dual active sim. Call quality is of course not at par with Nokia but it's not my primary phone, therefore, it's ok :). Plus, myphone is a Filipino brand!

Now, here comes myhero...

This is the 'ninoycory' myphone version. MyHeroes is a series of phones from myphone who honors Filipinos who made a difference and served as an inspiration to others.

An article at Philippine Star stated "The mobile phone comes in Cory yellow, with the signature Ninoy eyeglasses in front and images of Ninoy and Cory at the back. When one clicks the yellow ribbon icon on the phone's menu, a number of items would appear, including prayers, an Aquino biography, Ninoy and Cory trivia, Ninoy and Cory inspirational messages, Ninoy's letters and poems, Cory's personal prayers, Aquino speeches, the Aquino library, and the Aquino gallery. "

Talking about ingenuity combined with nationalism = proudly Pinoy innovation.

I can't wait for the Jose Rizal version...
