— Sister Patricia FoxTHE Bureau of Immigration order to deport Australian missionary Sister Patricia Fox, after a BI investigation ordered by President Rodrigo Duterte, cannot but spur animosity. Why Sister Patricia must goOn Sister Patricia, many naturally wonder what one should fear from a 71-year-old missionary serving the poor and underprivileged, indeed, the very people the President has often stood up for. Unfortunately for Sister Patricia, that’s forbidden to foreigners, under a 2015 Immigration order approved by then Justice Secretary Leila de Lima. Sister Patricia was photographed in at least one labor protest organized by NDF affiliate Kilusang Mayo Uno. President Duterte had to meet the Kuwaiti ambassador over the incident, and Foreign Affairs Secretary Alan Peter Cayetano apologized.
