::Mt Everest Summiteers

Thursday, May 25, 2006

I would like to congratulate the first three Filipino Mountaineers in conquering the Mt. Everest Summit.

  • Heracleo "Leo" Oracion, 32, first Filipino who conquered the Mt. Everest (South Side), on the 17th of May at 3:30 pm local time. Leo was supported by ABS-CBN TV network and various groups.
  • Erwin "Pastor" Emata, 33, second Filipino who reached the Mt. Everest summit on May 18th, without the aid of oxygen.
  • Romi Garduce, 37, the third Filipino who conquered the Mt. Everest summit on May 19th. Romi was sponsored by GMA 7 and various groups.

GMA 7's 24 Oras evening news reported that certification from the Ministry of Information in Nepal, expedition photos and confirmation from the Everest Expert Elizabeth Hawley will prove who among these three Filipinos reached the Mt. Everest summit first as some were confused whether Leo Oracion was the first one who conquered the summit.

Ang Pinoy talaga eh parang hindi na madaling magtiwala... bakit kaya?
