MANILA: An Australian nun who irked the Philippine president for joining political rallies defied an Immigration Bureau order for her to leave the Philippines and appealed to justice officials to allow her to continue her missionary work for the poor and victims of injustice.
Accompanied by fellow Catholic nuns and priests, Sister Patricia Fox (pic) and her lawyers filed the petition before the Department of Justice. Dozens of supporters held placards that read, “Hands off Sister Pat” and yelled, “No to deportation”.
