Whether it’s mountain climbing, river trekking or white water rafting, 46-year-old singer-actress Agot Isidro defies the limits of middle age. “They say (it’s when you’re at) 20’s that you do party-party, 30’s when you’re earning a lot of money and start making a niche, and 40’s is when you say, let life begin. Whatever you want to achieve, supposedly you’ve achieved in your 30’s,” Agot told Yahoo! Philippines OMG! Last February, she conquered the Philippines’ highest peak, Davao’s Mt. Apo, with her climbing buddy, Dr. Gideon Lasco, whom she met through his blog pinoymountaineer.com. “I was supposed to go to a trekking trip to Nepal last April, pero I was gonna do it alone. So up to the last minute, I was like, ‘Sige I’ll do it,’” she recounted her cancelled adventure trip to the Himalayas. “Then I went to Bali for four days. Nalungkot ako. So sabi ko, ‘Four days pa lang ‘to nalulungkot na ko, what more kung 17 days? It’s a 17-day trip. I’ll postpone it.’ Maybe in 2, 3 days kung ok na si Gid (her climbing buddy) o kung sinong gusto sumama, then I’ll go,” she continued. Accompanied by other climbing enthusiasts, Agot has reached the peak of Mt. Maculot and Pico de Loro in Batangas.
