The color of courage
MANILA, Philippines - No woman so self-effacing could possibly rally millions of Filipinos the way the late President Corazon Aquino did. From her beginnings as a housewife to the leader of this country, to the beloved icon known for her peacemaking efforts, to her final battle with cancer, President Cory has inspired love and loyalty unparalleled.
President Cory has received numerous awards and citations, including the Time Magazine Woman of the Year; Eleanor Roosevelt Human Rights Award; and Martin Luther King Jr. Nonviolent Peace Prize. She has also been nominated for the Nobel Peace Prize; and is included in the book as one of the 100 Women Who Shaped World History (by G.M. Rolka).
In further tribute to President Cory, Philip Stein has come out with a limited edition Corazon C. Aquino Commemorative Watch. Taking its cue from Cory’s signature color, the watch features a yellow ribbon on the dial and a yellow lizard leather strap, which is part of Philip Stein’s interchangeable bracelet system. As subtle homage to Cory’s place in history, the number “11” is highlighted in yellow as well. Engraved on the caseback is the phrase “A Tribute to the 11th President of the Philippines Corazon C. Aquino-Mother of Democracy” and her profile.
The frequency harnessed by Philip Stein has been proven to improve the health of the wearer. It regulates the body’s functions, informing the body to relax and thereby become more resistant and resilient to stress.
Only 1,011 pieces of the Philip Stein Corazon C. Aquino Commemorative Watch have been made. They are available at all Lucerne, Chronos and Philip Stein boutiques.
