Juana Bautista de la Candelaria Rodriguez a.k.a. “Candulia” was born in 1885 in the village of Santa Rosa.
While virtually impossible to account for all centenarians around the globe, Rodriguez is believed to be the oldest.
The Guinness Book of World Records has not confirmed her claim of the title; however they are reviewing new cases following the death of Gertrude Baines of Georgia who died last year at 115.
If confirmed by the agency, Cadulia will break the record for oldest person to have ever lived given to 122 years, 164 day year-old Jeanne Louise Calment, of France who died in 1997.

For Mazen Abdul-Jawad, 32, sharing his tales of his sexual escapades has not paid off in his favor as a court in Saudi Arabia has sentenced the man to five years in prison along with receiving 1,000 lashes.
Telling his story over the air on the show “Bold Red Line”, which aired on the Lebanese Broadcasting Corporation network, Abdul-Jawad was convicted in October of breaking strict Islamic laws in Saudi Arabia. The country is known as being one of the most conservative within the Arab community.
As a former airline employee, he spoke on picking up women before getting married and showcased sex toys in front of the camera.
His comments came with a heavy backlash as almost 200 complaints were sent from viewers resulting in an apology from Abdul-Jawad.
According to him, he had been tricked by the producers of the show to spill some of his stories on air. Sulaiman Jumaie, his lawyer, added that owners and managers at LBC had not been charged over the incident.
Abdul Jawad is not the only to suffer from such actions as two of his acquaintances were part of such conversation and were given two years in prison with 300 lashes to accompany the sentence.
