LAS PIÑAS CITY, (PIA) -- Aida Cruz-Del Rosario, one of the female pioneers of Philippine architecture, is the recent recipient of a cash gift worth P100,000 from the Muntinlupa City Government.

Lola Aida is the latest centenarian resident of Muntinlupa as she turned 100 on Aug. 11.

Muntinlupa Mayor Ruffy Biazon visited Cruz-Del Rosario at her home to give her the P100,000, a cash gift from the local government through the Office for Senior Citizens Affairs (OSCA).

In a Facebook post, Mayor Biazon regarded Lola Aida as first "registered female architect" of the Philippines and "first

female architecture graduate" of the University of Sto. Tomas.

Under the centenarians Act of 2016, all Filipinos age 100 and above will be given a cash gift for their contribution to nation building. (PIA-NCR)
