Two Filipino mountaineers, Jeno Panganiban and Miguel Mapalad, arrived in the Philippines early Sunday morning after successfully reaching the summit of Mt. Everest, the highest peak in the world, located in Nepal.

This remarkable achievement marks nearly two decades since the last time Filipino climbers stood atop the world’s tallest mountain.

Their successful ascent is a proud moment for the Philippines, highlighting the country’s presence in the international mountaineering community.

Mt. Everest, standing at 8,848 meters (29,029 feet) above sea level, remains one of the most challenging climbs due to its extreme altitude, unpredictable weather, and demanding physical conditions.

Completing the ascent requires months of preparation, acclimatization, and careful planning.

Panganiban and Mapalad’s expedition symbolizes determination, courage, and the spirit of adventure.

Their journey inspires many Filipino outdoor enthusiasts and aspiring climbers, proving that with perseverance and dedication, even the most daunting challenges can be overcome.

The two mountaineers are expected to share their experiences and insights from the climb, shedding light on the physical and mental demands of conquering the “Roof of the World.”

Their success also brings attention to the importance of mountaineering safety and environmental conservation in high-altitude regions.

As they reunite with family and friends, Panganiban and Mapalad’s accomplishment stands as a testament to Filipino resilience and passion for exploration—encouraging future generations to dream big and reach new heights.

In a previous report by KAMI, a family of three was mercilessly shot and killed inside their store in Barangay Mallorca, San Leonardo, Nueva Ecija. Caught by CCTV, three men entered their store, closed the roll-up door, and shot the entire family to death. Before fleeing, one of the suspects even grabbed a bag and a mobile phone from the victim. In a report by Gary De Leon of TV 5's 'Frontline Pilipinas,' the family started getting threats after lending P1-M to one of the residents of their barangay; allegedly using the money for business.

In another viral local report, a 51-year-old public school teacher in Las Piñas City was stabbed multiple times by her own husband. According to the report of EJ Gomez in 'Unang Balita,' the 38-year-old suspect committed the crime inside the school's faculty room. Police authorities said the school has a security guard, but, being a familiar face in the school, the suspect managed to easily get in and out of the school. The suspect said he was there to talk to his wife and settle their misunderstanding, but unfortunately, it led to a big arguement.
