We made history!
It is official! Last April 10, 2007, 3 Pinays made history when they became the first three women in history to cross over the peak of Mt. Everest. WHOAH!!! They made it way way to the top from the north side and descended from the south. Noelle Wenceslao, 27, Carina Dayondon,28, and Janet Belarmino,28,- first-time mother have all made it to the history books.
DID YA KNOW? Carina Dayondon is born and raised in BUKIDNON? Yup! That is right guys! She is from the agricultural town of southern Bukidnon. She actually reached the peak of Mt. Everest on May 20 at 6:20 a.m. Nepal time (8:20 a.m. in Manila), ten minutes after Noelle Wenceslao, 27, reached the peak. The third team member, Janet Belarmino, 28, reached the summit three hours later. Wenceslao and Belarmino are both from Luzon.
Three pinays that we should be definitely be proud of. They are now the toughest mountain climbers in the world. Congratulations and God Speed!
