Last I heard from the news station was on 14 February 2023. At that time they were looking into the GRG and the other organizations and talking to Mrs. Garcia's family about applying for her age to be validated. I don't know if they actually did apply and submit her documents, but I contacted them again this morning asking how she is doing, if they had any additional questions about the GSF, and if they had submitted her documentation. 

I will let you know as soon as I hear something! 

In my opinion:

10% chance she's 118

60% chance she's younger than 118 but still an SC and possibly the doyenne of Mexico

30% chance she's younger than 110

There's also LAS, no? Or has it already been subsumed under LQ?

Anyway, still working at age 118 really is impressive, but of course I do suspect that she's younger. Would be cool if she will indeed turn out to be a real/true SC, though, even if almost certainly younger than 118.

Mrs. Garcia also claims to have had 25 children. And she currently has her own "dessert stand" where she sells candies on the side of the road.

I have been in contact with the news station and the news reporter who have interviewed her. They say she is interested in applying for the Guinness World Record. I spoke with them today, and let them know that the cost to apply is completely free of charge. I also let them know that the GRG and LongeviQuest are the 2 companies that validate supercentenarians  I sent them a link via Facebook about 10 minutes ago.

They are going to interview her again tomorrow and help her apply.

Yes, the chances of her being 118 is very slim, probably 10% or less, but it is not outside the realm of possibility. I am going to contact them again the day after tomorrow to see if they went through with the application and how everything went. I will let you know what comes from this, but cross your fingers! ✌
