According to the Guinness Book of Records, the oldest living person in the world is a woman from Japan named Kane Tanaka, who is now 116 years old.

She has a certification recognizing her as the oldest person in Negros. Occidental. A senator’s kin helped her comply with all the necessary documents to Guinness Book of World Records to prove that she is indeed the oldest living person in the world.

Despite being a centenarian, this granny still sings and plays the harmonica. Though she can still speak, she finds moving and standing quite difficult already.
Francisca married at a young age of 14 and bore 14 children; of which 8 are still living and one is 100 years old. Her total grandchildren are 364; reaching to the fourth generation.
Her secret to a long life is eating vegetables that are fresh from the farm and are not treated with pesticides. Francisca loves to eat “Laswa”, a famous vegetable dish made of ladyfingers, eggplant, and squash.
