What Frank left the family is a tragedy.
The missing mountaineer at Zambales was Omar's cousin.
They left for Zambales early morning of Saturday. Morning of Sunday, as they were about to cross a 200meters wide stream, which was just below their knee deep, came a flash flood and water was neck-deep already. The 12 mountaineers crossed their hands together (like kapit-bisig style) while crossing the stream. Thed, Omar's cousin, was at the end of the line. Unfortunately, his buddy, which was just in front of him, was freed from the group and so was Thed. They both did not make it, including the local guide from the area who tried to rescue them.
Thed's body was found yesterday, on his 32nd birthday, 2hours travel by land and an hour travel by boat from where they were last seen.
So tragic. So sad. He was too young.
