Benvindo is the 22nd oldest man in the history of Brazil, he was the oldest living man in the state of Minas Gerais, the 88th oldest person in the history of Brazil.

I suspect that Latin American countries, such as Brazil, have many verifiable past SC claims which we simply currently don't know about. Even I was able to discover a previously unknown verifiable Brazilian male SC named Manoel Ogero Dias Junior (1899-2009) through Find-A-Grave, after all.

Today's update (Mr. Levino Ferreira turned 112)

1. João Marinho Neto (b. 5 October 1912), 112  Brazil World's Oldest Living Man
2. Josino Levino Ferreira (b. 3 April 1913), 112  Brazil
3. Julio Saldarriaga Hernandez (b. 3 November 1913), 111  Colombia
4. Armando Alvarino Thomas (b. 5 March 1914), 111  Colombia (pending)
5. Primo Olivieri (b. 7 March 1914), 111  Brazil
6. Francisco Ernesto Filho (b. 5 April 1914), 110  Brazil
7. Virgilio Davalos Rey (b. 8 October 1914), 110 🇵🇾 Paraguay

This list started being published here this year, so it's been a short time, but it's the first time with 2 112+

Would this be the first time since 2006 that Brazil has two simultaneously living verifiable 112+ year-old men? (Assuming that Anisio Rodrigues Alves and Maximiliano Jose dos Santos will both get verified in the future?)
