  1. Sincere condolences. I lost a brother on a mountain due to altitude sickness. We are comforted in knowing that he did make it to the summit and he died doing what he loved. May your cousin's soul rest in peace 🙏

  2. Dami na namatay sa bundok na yan pero tuloy parin mga hikers. It should be restricted.

    1. Wala namang purpose ang pagakyat nila diyan. What have they gained? Masabi lang na nakaakyat sila eh madami na nakagawa nun plus it's too risky. May isang documentary nga tawag sa Everest libingan ng mga patay sa daming namatay diyan lalo na lately. Iba na din kasi ang risk dahil sa weather conditions and some unforeseeable events

    2. Eh sa gusto nila eh. Kanya kanyang trip lang yan. "Walang purpose". How sure are you na walang purpose yung pag akyat ng mga tao doon? "What have they gained?" Parang sure na sure ka sa mga statements mo and you know everything. Better if you just mind your own business.

    4. Hindi porke di niyo maintindihan or wala kayong alam about mountaineering or hiking eh iinvalodate niyo na ang interests ng mga nahihilig dito. It's their lives, let them be. They passed doing what they love.

    5. I think it’s more like a passion and a goal as a hiker Kung anu man tawag sa kanila. if mahilig ka talaga umakyat ng bundok. Kahit anu pilit na wag mo na ituloy , itutuloy parin nila. May mga ganito tao. Sila lang makakapag sabi if Ayaw na nila.

    6. Etong mga nag cocomment na to? Mga halatang walang magandang purpose sa buhay. lol looks like you never lifted a thing in your entire life.

      I recently ran a marathon and how much happiness it brought me after, ano pa kaya yung umakyat ng mt Everest. The more you challenge yourself the more happiness you have within.

    7. Hobby ng mga mapera magclimb diyan. We know someone at it ranges from Half Million Piso pataas ang gastos. So yeah an expensive hobby and " purpose" kuno.

      Delete
    8. If you don’t hike or not a hiker at all you will never know the happiness we feel every time we are on the mountain top or seeing beautiful lakes. So please don’t say “no purpose”. Some will say naghahanap lang ng sakit ng katawan or pagod but we are happy doing what we do rather be at home doing nothing or makipag-chismisan

    9. 2:28 adventurous ako teh pero alam ko limit ko. Ive been to many mountains and seas pero di kasama sa list ko yang Mt. Everest. Yung ibang bangkay dyan di na nakuha. Worst is hindi na natagpuan.

    10. Ang sad naman neto... pero ito na naman ang diskusyon ng follow your passion versus be practical.

      Medyo conservative ako pag dating sa extreme sports. Pag single kayo at walang responsibilidad, gow! Be happy! Pag pamilyado, pwede bang isipin nyo muna yung mga anak nyong bata pa na umaasa sa inyo bago kayo mag-extreme sports?! That, or have a healthy insurance coverage for your family so that they can move on comfortably in case you die. It's not all about your happiness!

    11. ‘Rather be at home doing nothing or makipag-chismisan’ - and yet you’re here 2:28. I believed everything you said about mountaineers, but not about yourself. Real mountaineers wouldn’t waste their time in a chismis site para lang makipagsagutan sa mga anonymous na chismosa. Hehe

  3. Oh my! Mkakauwi ba ang body they said most of them iniiwan nlang dahil di na kaya buhatin.

    1. Me tinatawag mo tayong helicopter

      Delete
    2. San ka po nakatira? Ever heard of air ambulance?

      Delete
    3. Actually, maraming instances na iniiwan na lang nga yung mga bodies. If ang location is mahirap na puntahan and dangerous na for those who will retrieve the body.

      Delete
    4. Yes, may helicopter pero depende po yan eh. Like saang base camp, altitude, strong winds, etc. since kelangan din i-consider yung safety ng mag rerescue.

      Delete
    5. It depends sa area kung san yung body nya. May mga area na hindi na maaabot ng helicopter so wag kayong pabibo sa mga air ambulance eme nyo jan lol. Kahiya kayo

      Delete
    6. May certain altitude lang po ang kayang liparin ng helicopter. Iba din ang weather condition na meron sa taas, kaya nga madami din sa mga namatay doon ang hindi pa naibababa kahit ilang decades na.

      Delete
    7. Weather conditions have to be right, location of the body, not in the deep trench etc. before you can retrieve the body. You have to pay thousands of dollars for multiple Sherpas to carry the body back to the base camp so the chopper can fly the body back to civilization. So that is another $$$$. When none of those are attainable, then they just leave the body where they died.

    8. Maraming body ang iniiwan na lang sa mt everest. If you are going to google it, more than 200 bodies ang naiwan na lang doon at napepreserve sila dahil sa lamig doon. Minsan ginagawa na rin nila trail marks ng mga hikers ang mga bodies.

    9. Many bodies of climbers who have died on Mount Everest remain on the mountain for various reasons. Retrieving the bodies is a dangerous and challenging task that poses significant risks to the climbers and the rescue teams. As a result, most bodies are left where they fell, serving as somber reminders of the risks and dangers of attempting to summit Earth’s tallest peak. From Google and it also will cost you 20k to 200k to remove the body depending on the location.

    10. based on Google:

      Due to the extreme environment and logistical challenges, many bodies of those who die on Mount Everest are left where they fall, becoming part of the mountain's landscape. While some bodies are recovered by clean-up campaigns or by individuals, many remain permanently frozen in the high-altitude environment.

    11. 12:43 at 12:44 you need to watch some docus about ME. totoo na kapag sobrang taas na ng altitude, hindi na nakukuha ang mga bangkay. Pero siguro kay Mr. Santiago, nasa level pa na pwede pa maiuwi ang bangkay niya. RIP 🙏

  5. Sabi sa YouTube Mt. Everest has become a graveyard

  6. I watched docu about Mt Everest. Andami daw remains ng hikers dun na nadadaanan lang nila. Nakabalot lang sila ng winter gear kaya di mo na makikita ung skeletons nila.

    ReplyDelete
  7. They asked" Why do you want to climb Mt Everest?" Because it's there. Condolences to family. I hope they will able to retrieve the body. If nasa mataas na , no helicopter or air ambulance esp the weather condition, avalance and area to land. Not that easy.

  8. Mahal pa naman magpa-airlift at mag-uwi ng bangkay...

  9. It’s funny how every time may topic dito sa FP involving specific areas, nagsisilabasan ang mga expert. For example, topic ang rare disease and illnesses, biglang may mga doctors and nurses. Topic ang mga kaso, andyan ang mga abugado. Topic ang Mt. Everest, andito yung mga namumundok daw. Even professionals pala are chismosas kala ko mga tambay, housewives, at hampaslupa lang. Hehe

  10. From the Outside news, Santiago was in an avalanche but survived and cleared by the doctor to continue ascending. He only suffered bilateral cheeks and nasal injury, a frostbite or abrasions? .I do not know what day that happened but he made it to camp 4 and while resting on his oxygen, he never woke up. Unfortunately he never made it to summit..RIP. Another customer of Snowy Expedition, an Indian made it to summit but succumbed on his descent, his guide had to dragged him down to Hillary steps because he refused to move. Altitude sickness is real, this climbing season, Everest already claimed 4. There are 2 more Pinoys waiting to summit I think 1 is more experienced mountaineer but his tallest practice was only Mt Fuji Still wishing them good weather and luck to summit.
