Mabuhay Projek Pango! This month, we celebrate our friends Gerry Egbalic and Ivan Cataluña, who just summitted The Nose. Projek Pango was an idea born in 2023 and they summited The Nose May 2026.
To our knowledge, they are the first Filipino team to have done The Nose. But if you happen to know other all-Filipino teams who've summited, or even attempted The Nose, reach out to projek_pango@gmail.com. We'd love to celebrate them.
Shoutouts to our Valley Uprising Ghorls: Alex Sadlacan, Kaila Andres, and Jen Martelino for documenting the experience. And interviewing the team!
