Nanay Julia, a 102-year-old centenarian from San Andres, Romblon, was honored with a Php100,000 cash gift, a letter of felicitation signed by the President of the Philippines, and a certificate of recognition from the national government.
The awards were presented by the Department of Social Welfare and Development (DSWD) Field Office MIMAROPA in a ceremony held on January 28 at the Social Welfare and Development Team (SWADT) Office in Odiongan, Romblon.
The recognition is part of the Republic Act No. 10868, also known as the “Centenarians Act of 2016,” which aims to honor Filipino citizens who reach the age of 100 and above, whether residing in the Philippines or abroad.
