So the rumors were true. Leo Oracion was not the first Filipino atop the highest peak in the world... Nor was the controversial Dale Abenojar who is about to lose his big toe in Nepal due to frostbite.
It was this person (neither man nor woman)... Please see below.
Congratulations to the first Filipino(a) to set foot on the summit of Mt. Everest...

Congratulations to the REAL "summiteers" Leo Oracion, Erwin Emata and Romi Garduce for making it to the top of the world. You really make Filipinos proud. Soon, you will be endorsing more products than you can ever imagine... hehehehe...
