A Taste of Home at Everest’s Summit

Miguel's Everest Journey

Miguel’s dream to climb Everest began with quiet determination and a deep connection to home. This is more than a climb it’s a journey fueled by the comfort of familiar roots and the courage to reach for the highest peak. Follow his story from humble beginnings to the world’s tallest mountain, carrying the spirit of home every step of the way.

Pre-Climb

A Taste of Home at Everest’s Summit

When Miguel packed for Everest, he made room for comfort amid the essentials. A taste of home that traveled from our kitchens to the highest point on Earth. Familiar flavors carry more than nutrition they carry memory, connection, and a reminder of why we climb. From Salcedo Market to Everest’s summit, some journeys begin small but dream bigger with each step.

Send-Off

Voices That Climb With Miguel

Before the first step, there was a moment. Friends, family, and strangers gathered not just to say goodbye, but to say: we are with you.The send-off was not ceremonial. It was personal. A gathering of warmth, words, and quiet confidence in someone setting out to do something few ever will.For Miguel, the send-off was not about being ready. It was about being surrounded. A reminder that wherever the mountain led him, a piece of home would climb with him.

Notes to the Top

When Miguel looks up, he sees the towering summit of Everest, daunting, breathtaking, and within reach. But when he looks back, we want him to see every proud, cheering heart that believes in him. Every step he takes is not just his own; it is carried by the voices of home, messages of courage, love, and unwavering support from a nation standing behind him. As @miguelmapalad pushes forward on his historic ascent, our doors and hearts remain wide open for your words. Leave him a message, a prayer, a story. Let him carry it with him through the snow, the silence, and the wind. Some journeys are taken with ropes and gear, but it is the voices from home that lighten the heaviest climbs. Together, we help write a story of grit, unity, and Filipino spirit that will echo beyond the summit.
