First Pinay to conquer Everest!

Perhaps Philippines is famous of its very accommodating people. This nation also has a lot to offer, like it’s famous tourist destinations and beautiful places to spend your outdoor activities. Having this amazing place and people, we are being competitive in different aspects of competitions. Considering these facts, one of the achievements that Pinoy had accomplished these past years is conquering the Mount Everest. We all know that this country is in tropical climate, thus we are not used to live in a very cold place. But, because of their hard work and competitive blood, one of our patriot pinay achieves their highest dream. Enduring health problems, frigid weather, thin air, a most inhospitable terrain and the dissolution of their original expedition team, Noelle Wenceslao, Karina Dayondon and Janet Belarmino have achieved the ultimate triumph of a mountaineer — the summit of Mt. Everest. They are the first Southeast Asian women to summit Mt. Everest. And while the news has this pretty well covered given their legendary status, I thought that a note from theme would be appropriate as many of us continue to dream and aspire to explore the mountains with a similar passion. I’m sure Pilipino people will remember them with respect.
