MANILA, Philippines– Singaporean adventurer and world-record holder Khoo Swee Chiow was in the Philippines to climb the second highest peak in Luzon, Mt. Pulag.
He also decided to visit Mountain Province’s Sagada, which is known for its “hanging coffins” and mummies.
It was Swee Chiow’s first time to explore the country despite having explored the world and set world records in the process.
“I would definitely go back and bring my family here,” Swee Chiow said.
An adventurer, Swee Chiow has scaled at least seven summits in the seven continents, conquered Mt. Everest twice, traveled to the North Pole without an oxygen, skied in the South Pole for 57 days, skated from Hanoi to Singapore for 94 days, cycled from Singapore to Beijing for 73 days, swam the Malacca strait and dived for 220 hours earning him the world’s record of doing the longest scuba dive.
