Finally, its home sweet home for Romi Graduce after his successful adventure on Mt. Everest. His eyes were sparkling with excitement as you could see on his trademark smile.
With him on the convoy were the UP Mountaineers and support team of Northface. It was a lucky day for me since I was with him to cover his return to Bataan.
The adoration of the crowd was truly a sight. He was flocked with his kababayans and supporters. The same scenario with Pacman Pacquiao when he won a war with a Mexican boxer last year. His "kababayans" lined up on the street just to have a glimpse of him and everyone chanted his name. School children are also waving their flags to show support and admiration for an achievement of a Filipino in the international arena.Romi is home. And with the status quo of an instant celebrity he gained from his quest, the people await him for another extra challenge that would befit him and might surpass what he had already attained. The public is now all eyes on his every move and look forward to what he is capable more of doing.
