Here’s something cool. A seven-year old girl from Palawan swims an 8.5-kilometer distance in under five hours. Ana Karenina Dalabajan, nicknamed Siobe, began her record-making swim in Barangay Mangingisda, a little less than 9 kilometers away from the Palawan capital. She reached the port of Puerta Princesa four hours and 33 minutes later. Most of the kids that started out with her gave up from exhaustion. When she touched down at the pier, her mother, the mayor of Puerto Princesa and a legion of adoring fans were waiting for her. When asked if she was afraid any time during her swim, she said no. The power of the human spirit is admirable enough, but you just gotta love that youthful precociousness. |
