We now have confirmation that Eusebio Quintero Lopez - of Vijes, Valle del Cauca, Colombia - turned 113 yesterday. He is currently the oldest (known) living person in Colombia, as well as the world's second-oldest validated living man. In reaching the age of 113, he is now one of less than 30 documented men in history known to have become a "teenager" twice.
He always claimed to have been born on 15 March 1910, but his baptismal record from 1910 states his DOB as 6 March 1910. His family plans to celebrate his birthday on March 19th, so we'll hopefully see new photos then.
Happy birthday!
