Over a hundred-year-old Tatay Romy Villanueva from Barangay Rizal, Babatngon Leyte, continues to groove through the art of weaving bayongs (traditionally woven bags) and duyans (hammocks), which he then sells door-to-door to sustain himself.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Behind Villanueva’s unwavering spirit and determination at his remarkable age is a simple secret to living his life longer: he avoids eating meat along with food containing artificial flavorings and preservatives. Instead, he maintains his simple diet by only eating fish and vegetables.<\/p>\n

Despite his age, Villanueva’s story proves that age is not a hindrance to grooving and sustaining himself for a living; instead, his story serves as an epitome of hope and inspiration for us all.<\/p>\n

All the best to you, Tatay, and we wish you many more years to live!<\/p>\n
