Did you know...

Did you know that Tenzing Norgay, who partnered with Edmund Hillary to be the first to summit Everest, had a daughter who married a Filipino and lived in the Philippines? Her name is Nima and she married artist Noli Galang.

I first read this in Ambeth Ocampo's column at Inq7.

As Mr. Ocampo said, too bad GMA7 and ABS-CBN didn't pick this up, or they could have had a coup by having Nima greet our first Filipino Everest summiteers (It would have been better than a greeting from Manny Pacquao or Gloria Arroyo-blah!)
