The life of Zara Alvarez was a life lived for the marginalized.
Alvarez worked with a lot of organizations – among others, serving as research and advocacy officer for the Negros Island Health Integrated Program .
Clarizza Singson, Karapatan secreretary-general in Negros, said Alvarez was the type of human rights worker everyone aspired to be. They had known each other since 2002.
In a Facebook message on Monday, August 17, Palabay told Rappler, “Zara, facing dangers and fears, did what any of us have pledged our life to – that of selfless service, without any reward of accolades, money, or fame.”Alvarez, a licensed teacher, grew up close to the church. She counted this as one of the reasons why she got involved in cause-oriented work.
