THE SAMPAGUITA VENDOR AT AGE 60 years old.

HAPPY AND SMILLE to those who enter the church's entrance of ANTIPOLO CHURCH.
She is LOLA SAMPAGUITA better known by the name ALING NENA, a sampaguita vendor who sits on the main gate of the church.
At 60 years of age, Aling NENA did not have a job but she sell a sampaguita a visit to church attendees and visit church paroko. Marahil, si Aling nena ang pinakamatanda at pinakamatagal ng nagtitinda ng sampaguita dito sa Antipolo City.

"Forty years (40) I'm selling a sampaguita and here I raised my children from my husband's death," said Aling Nena.

Aling Nena early married and had six children, including twins.
According to Aling Nena, he sells his daily income - it's raining or sunny day.
When I talked to him, Aling Nena did not mind the heat of the day in the morning as he held the bundle of flowers offered to the passers-by.

Like the sampaguita flowers that have become part of the lives of Filipinos, Aling Nena is also considered a Antipolo City model because of her hard work, sacrifice and care for her children no matter how hard it is to live.
