Who would have thought that centenarian Julita Pagobo Sugarol from Sogod town, northern Cebu Province can still shake her groove?

On February 28, 2024, she was seen dancing and reveling in her 100^th birthday.

Her five children, 10 grandchildren, and 13 great grandchildren serenaded her and gave her flowers.

Lola Julita was born in Punta Engaño, City of Lapu-Lapu in 1924 but moved to Barangay Tabunok, Sogod town as years went by.

She said that she has Moringa (malunggay or kamunggay) to thank for. She believes that one who aspires to reach a hundred must be mindful of one's diet. 

“Utan kamunggay sinubakan og isda, saging ug tubig (vegetable soup with Moringa and fish to taste, banana and water),” she replied when asked on the secret recipe to her longevity, agility, and bubbliness despite her age.

A jolly Lola Julita even wished to reach 200 years old because it is possible given the diet; however, she said, it is the Lord who decides on extending a life or extinguishing it. So, she enjoys each moment given her beyond what she had expected.
