Mozcom Sponsors 1st Philippine Mt. Everest Expedition
March 16, 2006

Mozcom is proud to announce that it has signed up with the First Philippine Mt. Everest Expedition (FPMEE) to be its Official ISP. The team aims to bring glory to the Philippines and lift the spirits of the Filipinos by showing that all things are possible through unity.

As the Official ISP, Mozcom will develop, maintain and market the official website of the team. It will also help raise sponsorship funds for the team by selling souvenir shirts and accepting donations through the award-winning PayEasy Online Payment System.

While the entire team is expected to climb in 2007, a reconnaissance party will climb by May of 2006. The advance party has been acclimatizing in Nepal since February. The advance climb is expected to give them enough experience to help lead the whole team in the 2007 Unity Climb.

"FPMEE is privileged to partner with Mozcom. Through the services Mozcom will provide for us, we will be able to further promote Filipino values like bayanihan, which is at the core of the team's endeavors, to the international mountaineering community as well as Filipinos and foreigners who are looking forward to learning about the team's progress," says Art Valdez, FPMEE President. "On top of this, Mozcom allows us an opportunity to gather all kinds of support for the expedition."

"We are excited to be part of this historical event," says Dick Chiang, Mozcom's COO/CTO. "We chose FPMEE to represent Mozcom because we strongly identify with the core values that they espouse--being Filipino pioneers, valuing teamwork, and being focused and committed to their goal."

Special Edition Nitro-Everest prepaid Internet cards will be sold online at the website. Part of the proceeds will be donated by Mozcom to FPMEE.
