102-year-old can still thread needle.
(From Philippine Daily Inquirer)
Byline: Emir Emano Gamis
PRIETO DIAZ, Sorsogon-Felizberta Dogelio, the oldest living resident of this town at 102, can still thread a needle.
Is it a big needle with a large hole?
"No, it's a regular needle," claimed
Dogelio or Nana Bentay as she is known in town. "My mind is still sharp and my hearing has not changed."
Born on May 17, 1901, Nana Bentay is older than her hometown Prieto Diaz, which was proclaimed a town years after her birth. "I've seen our town grow and change. There are more people now," she said.
