                    [Title] => Special screening of Abenojar documentary today
                    [Summary] => Dale Abenojar, the 43-year-old adventure sportsman who claims to be the first Filipino to conquer Mt. Everest, will let the public decide on his credibility tonight with a special documentary on his ascent, to be shown at the SM Megamall Cinema 1.


Abenojar’s group will hold a special screening at 7:30 tonight of "Child in Everest," the documentary film they pieced together from footage taken by Abenojar and his Sherpa guides to prove that he indeed reached the summit of the world’s tallest mountain last May 15.

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.

While I may not share the passion for climbing up to oxygen-sparse and dizzying heights, I can empathize with the sense of satisfaction these extreme athletes must get when they summit – in less arduous but equally stressful circumstances.
