Congratulations Romi for reaching the highest peak in the World!! We are all celebrating your success!! So now, the Filipino trio is complete– Leo Oracion, Erwin Pastour Emata, and Romi Garduce — the first three Filipinos who reached Everest! Also, It was funny to see the big boss in our Manila Service Center, Greg Clark on TV congratulating Romi. I’m actually validating with P&G management whether Romi might be the First ever P&G manager worldwide to have reach the summit of Mt. Everest. It would take a while to validate it but knowing the people and the work in P&G, I wouldn’t be surprised if he is indeed the first manager in Procter and Gamble worldwide to summit Everest!! Congrats, pre!! 3 summits down, 4 to go :)!!
7 Highest Summits of the 7 Continents

Mt. Everest (Asia) 8,848m (4th climb-for-a-cause May 2006)
Mt. Elbrus (Europe) 5,642m ( Romi attempted to climb this– thanks Francis for the correction)

Mt. Aconcagua (South America) 6,960m (2nd climb-for-a-cause Dec/Jan 2004)
Mt. Vinson (Antartica) 4,897m
wow, suddenly we have a whole trio of Pinoys scaling Mount Everest! Congratulations to them all!
Oh, and your title is very amusing…;o) ;op
Now the real question is did he do any consumer testing while he was up there? There could be new markets on the top of Mt. Everest!
Cosnumer testing for what market? Oxygen?
Or how about life insurance? ;op ;o)
oo nga no, i would think that romi’s the first P&G-er to conquer Everest. =) wala na sigurong iba na kasing sipag nya.
Congrats to the trio and more power !!!
i think the elbrus climb should not be included in the 7summits he has ticked off already. though he climbed it, he turned back at 5400+, about 200m short of the summit.
to be considered youve done the 7summits, you must summit each. not just attempt it.
hope this helps.
