An ICM nun, Sr. Aurora Zambrano, one of Elizabeth's teachers in her high school days, offered their support to her and the Principe family. "Beth is a gentle and loving person," says Sr. Aurora. "Just as a true Theresian should be. SHe has indeed been a light to others especially to the poor. It is a shame that she has been kept detained despite what she has done for the marginalized." Sr.Zambrano is an 83-year old semio-retired nun. Despite her illness (diabetes and slip disc), she has religiously attended Principe's hearing for the Write of Amparo at the Court of Appeals in Manila. |
