Aside from local celebrities, some local mobile phones joined the Ice Bucket Challenge campaign, four (4) of which are from Cherry Mobile. These phones are IP67-certified waterproof, dustproof, and probably low-temperature proof since these phones survived the challenge.

Based on the video, it seems that Cherry Mobile is challenging other local mobile brands to also do the same with their device. Let’s wait if other brands will come up with their version of the challenge.
Ice Bucket Challenge is a worldwide campaign to raise awareness and gather funds for research about Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis or ALS. It is a disease that affects nerve cells from the brain down to the spinal cord. The disease causes paralysis and death. As of this time, there is no cure yet for ALS.
