A grandmother has been proving that age truly is just a number with her TikTok moves.
Doren “Doray” Relacion has amassed nearly a million followers on TikTok after posting her dance videos.
In an interview with Katrina Son on “24 Oras Weekend,” Sunday, Doray said dancing has been in her heart ever since she was young.
“Itong TikTok, nakita ko [na] pwede kong ituloy ‘yung hilig ko. Naisip ko ang ganda ring exercise kasi ‘pag nag-TikTok ka, papawisan ka talaga,” she said.
[“I saw that I can use TikTok to continue my hobby. I also thought of it as a good exercise because when you’re doing a TikTok video, you’ll sweat.”]
Whether it be modern pop, hula, or even songs that aren’t usually danced to, she can do it!
Her most famous video, where she’s dancing to the “Bumpy Ride” and “Ram Pam Pam” mashup, has over seven million views and 630,000 likes as of writing.

When she’s not doing TikTok videos, Doray said she’s busy volunteering in their barangay.
“Kami ‘yung na-assign do’n sa mga hindi pa nababakunahan na mga senior, may mga karamdaman. Monitor din sa mga pamilya kung sinong may sakit, symptoms,” she said.
[“We’re assigned to those who haven’t been vaccinated, those who have comorbidities. We also monitor families on who are sick and who have symptoms.”]
“Kusang loob namin ‘tong ginagawa para sa bayan din po,” she added. “Masarap sa pakiramdam na nakakatulong ka kahit alam namin na delikado.”
[“We do this with our own free will for the country. It feels good to help even though we know it’s dangerous.”]
In some of the videos, she is also seen grooving with her co-volunteers.
Previously, a 100-year-old lola in Pangasinan has also been amazing he public with her TikTok moves.
