[Title] => Abenojar: Was it worth it?
[Summary] =>
After claiming to be the first Filipino to scale Mount Everest, adventure sportsman Dale Abenojar is now beginning to wonder if his lifelong dream was worth it.
His left big toe was amputated yesterday due to gangrene. Abenojar now feels guilty that his 21-year-old Nepali guide, Pasang Dorchi Sherpa, lost all his toes — not nine as initially expected — to gangrene also yesterday.
Abenojar and Pasang are both recuperating at Cardinal Santos Memorial Medical Center in San Juan.

[Title] => We always spoil everything
[Summary] => As had recently been shown, the summit of Mount Everest is no longer the exclusive domain of climbers from other countries. Four hardy Filipinos have proven that they too can conquer the highest mountain in the world.
Sadly, what was to have been great cause for national glory has turned into an ugly spectacle of crab mentality. We are proving to the world that while we can overcome great physical odds, we are also showing a horrendous incapacity to surmount vainglorious pride.

[Title] => Abenojar hurting physically, emotionally
[Summary] => Dale Abenojar, the adventure sportsman who claims to have reached the summit of Mount Everest on May 15, is hurting physically and emotionally in cold and strife-torn Kathmandu, Nepal.
Accompanied only by close friend Robin Mendoza, Abenojar said that aside from the excruciating pain that a frostbitten left big toe was giving him, the seeming total disregard that his countrymen were giving to his successful conquest of Mt. Everest back home was making the hurt all the more painful.
