My city has local monthly newspaper where they tell us what the local government did in the past month, announcements and achievements. This month's front page is about a centenarian residing in the city. They gave her a plaque of recognition and a whopping 100,000 in check. She's apparently the 26th centenarian that was recognized in our city. How old are you? Do you want to live till 100?

Good thing that the centenarian was able to provide her documents particularly her birth certificate to the LGU.

Yeah. Our system kinds sucks when it comes to birth certificates from early 1900's-1950's. With the wrong dates and years, fires, and flood.

Nope, Php 100,000. About $1.8k, well, depending on the exchange rate.

NO, I don't want to live a diseased life till 100.. If I stay young, energetic and fit, I would love to 1000 years even.. I think no centenarian has been recognised so graciously here

Our former president signed it as a law before his term ended.

I'm 39... It is really hard to reach that age. I think I don't want to but if given the chance I will reach that age I am still strong to help myself.
