                    [Summary] => Tycoon Lucio Tan paid adventure sportsman Dale Abenojar a surprise visit yesterday morning at the Cardinal Santos Memorial Medical Center (CSMMC) in San Juan and gave him some welcome news: he would also pay for the hospital bills of Abenojar’s young Nepali Sherpa guide who lost all 10 toes to frostbite and gangrene on a quest to scale Mt. Everest.


Abenojar, 43, claims to have been the first Filipino to reach the summit of Mt. Everest, the world’s highest mountain, last month.
