Samantala, isang 82-anyos na babae ang nakaakyat sa Mt. Apo, via Kapatagan, Digos City
noong 2022. Hindi sinabi ng ABS-CBN sa report nito ang eksaktong petsa.
Siya ay si Atty. Iluminada Vaflor Fabroa mula sa Cavite City.


Ayon kay Digos City Tourism Officer Perla May Griffin, napaharap si Fabroa nang mahihirap
na hamon sa pag-akyat, pero dahil sa kanyang determinisyon ay nagawa niyang marating ang
tuktok ng Mt. Apo.


Ipinagdiwang ni Fabroa ang kanyang ika-82 birthday sa campsite. Snamahan siya ng kanyang
manugang na babae at isang apo. Si Fabroa ay isang retired na director ng Commission on Audit; isa siyang CPA-lawyer.
