Sr. Francis Añover and the life she lived for the landless, oppressed
By JANESS ANN J. ELLAO
MANILA – On Sunday, the Philippine human rights movement lost a brave soul who valiantly fought for the rights of the landless and the marginalized – Sr. Mary Francis Añover.
Described as a woman of substance, very gifted and friendly, Sr. Francis was known for her stint as national coordinator of the Rural Missionaries of the Philippines, a church-based organization comprising of both religious and lay that provides programs and services to the underserved farmers, fisherfolk, and indigenous peoples.
