Furthermore, her granddaughter, Merlene Susano explained that her Lola loved to eat laswa, an Ilonggo vegetable soup. She added that their vegetables were all-natural and grown without the use of sprays.

Walang mantika, at saka low salt, at saka walang betsin. At saka parati rin silang kumakain ng honey din—iyong fresh na honey.

Lahat ng mga kinakain ni Lola is pampahaba ng buhay talaga.

Lola Francesca got married at the age of 14 and had 8 children. She would also be one of the very few people who lived over a 100 years and see her eldest child reach a hundred as well.

According to an article from PEP, her eldest is now 99-years-old. Along with this, Francisca also has over 100 grandchildren even up to the fourth degree.
